Stourscombe: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Are there extra charges for Stourscombe?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What areas do you cover?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is the work guaranteed?

About our worktop repair in Stourscombe

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. We work on quartz, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are scorch marks from pans and chips near the sink.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stourscombe

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Stourscombe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

If you’re in Stourscombe and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Use a chopping board

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

How to compare quotes

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
