Common problems we fix in St Cleer
Most worktop damage takes a second: 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.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A heat mark or burn
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Scratches and knife marks

How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Failed support under the worktop
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
FAQs for St Cleer
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
In most cases. A photo lets us check.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just near the damage. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Landlord and trade work in St Cleer
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire worktop
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PL14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
