DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

FAQs for Porthilly

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Repairing versus replacing in Porthilly

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Everything repaired in place

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Most clients in Porthilly get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid wood

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Porthilly. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
