Common questions in Porthloo

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole worktop and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

About our worktop repair in Porthloo

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Whether it’s chips caused during installation and chips near the sink, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Porthloo

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Isles of Scilly and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Signs you need worktop repair in Porthloo

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Chipped corners
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
