How we handle worktop repair in Portway
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. We’re frequently asked to fix a chipped edge and a damaged sink edge, in quartz, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian).
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Portway: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is it worth repairing rather 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 I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Repair or replace: which is better?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

- No need to remove anything
- We leave the room as we found it
- Most jobs done in one visit
- One price list for the entire UK

When to call us in Portway
The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips near the sink
- Chips on edges and corners
- Scratches and knife marks
- Chips in quartz or granite
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Failed support under the worktop
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on

What else we do in Portway
What your worktop is made of matters
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you’re in Portway and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
