Worktop Repair in Portmellon
Chip, burn and scratch repairs to kitchen and bathroom worktops for homes and businesses in Portmellon and across Cornwall. Send photos for a free, fixed quote.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Do not let water sit on joints
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
How we handle worktop repair in Portmellon
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. Whether it’s chips in quartz or granite and damage from fitting or building work, we can typically put it right, on granite & marble, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

FAQs for Portmellon
Do you work in Portmellon?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Portmellon from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes, frequently. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How much do I need to move?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Failed support under the worktop
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
