Can I fix it myself?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we handle worktop repair in Tawstock
A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Typical jobs include snagging damage in a new kitchen and cuts and scratches in the surface, on laminate, granite & marble and solid wood.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Common questions in Tawstock
Do you cover the whole of Devon?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Normally. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tawstock. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
