How we handle worktop repair in Porthleven

We repair worktops in place, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Common call-outs are for a chipped quartz edge and scorch marks from pans, in laminate, solid wood and quartz.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Porthleven

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we’re called out for in Porthleven

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Scratches and knife marks

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Use a chopping board
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common questions in Porthleven

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Does someone need to be in?

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

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Porthleven, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
