About our worktop repair in Portscatho

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. Our repair technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and granite & marble, and people most often call us about chips caused during installation and damage to a stone worktop.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Solid surface

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

  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

Our hiring checklist

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Portscatho. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A top that moves on its units

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Portscatho

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

How much do I need to move?

Only around the repair. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.

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.

Do you come to Portscatho?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Portscatho and the rest of Cornwall. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Portscatho.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  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. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Most clients in Portscatho get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
