How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How we handle worktop repair in St Minver

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. We’re often asked to fix gouges in the surface and knife marks, on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and quartz.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Clean spills immediately
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

St Minver questions

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so St Minver is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How much does worktop repair cost in St Minver?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What we can’t put right

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in St Minver

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Why repair rather than replace?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why choose Surface Doctor in St Minver

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
