About our worktop repair in Powderham
We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Whether it’s damage from fitting or building work and a damaged sink edge, we can typically put it right, on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Powderham as everywhere else we work.

What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Failed support under the worktop

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access

Landlord and trade work in Powderham

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

FAQs for Powderham
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
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 with your EX6 postcode.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Should you replace it?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.
