FAQs for St Austell
How much does worktop repair cost in St Austell?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A top that moves on its units
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in St Austell

Repair or replace: which is better?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. 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.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Clean spills straight away
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
