Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Worktop repair in St Germans without replacing anything
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Whether it’s gouges in the surface and chips caused during installation, we can help.

Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

FAQs for St Germans
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Use a chopping board
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

When to call us in St Germans
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Common reasons people in St Germans contact us are:
- Knife marks
- Gouges in the surface
- A heat mark or burn
- Chips in quartz or granite
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
