Worktop repair in Sticker

How we handle worktop repair in Sticker

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. Our technicians work on quartz, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are chips on edges and corners and snagging damage in a new kitchen.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Quartz
  • Laminate
  • Solid wood
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

Sticker: your questions answered

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cornwall.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

How much does worktop repair cost in Sticker?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sticker. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No need to remove anything

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Sticker. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Common problems we fix in Sticker

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips often start there.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • A heat mark or burn
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Damage from fitting or building work

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

If you are in Sticker and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
