Repair or replace: which is better?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Repairs by material
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
St Teath: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Are there extra charges for St Teath?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Water-swollen laminate
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Quartz
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
For landlords and businesses
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 work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
