What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
How we handle worktop repair in Portreath
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. We work on granite & marble, solid wood and laminate, and people most often call us about a chipped edge and gouges in the surface.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Portreath: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What else we do in Portreath
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We assess 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.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TR16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Use a chopping board
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A top that moves on its units
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Severe heat marks in quartz
