About our worktop repair in Telegraph
Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We regularly repair laminate, solid wood and quartz, and common reasons people contact us are burns from hot pans and cuts and scratches in the surface.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Telegraph
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Signs you need worktop repair in Telegraph
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Chips on edges and corners
- A chipped quartz edge
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Scratches and knife marks

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Telegraph and nearby
Telegraph is about 36 miles west of Penzance, in the Isles of Scilly. Across the TR21 area, a technician comes to you. Telegraph is one of 13 places in the Isles of Scilly we cover.
All of TR21 is within our area. We regularly work on streets such as Town Lane, Decca Lane and Pungies Lane and the roads around them. Neighbouring places we cover include Trenoweth (1 mile north-east), Porthloo (1 mile south-west), Maypole (1 mile east), Pelistry (1 mile east) and Holy Vale (1 mile south-east). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so call us to arrange it.
Around Telegraph
Around Telegraph, we work in homes near St Mary's Church. Nearby you will also find Longstone Heritage Centre (0.6 miles south) and St Mary's Hospital (1.1 miles south). Not far away are Mount Todden and Abbey Pool.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep wood oiled
- Clean spills right away
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

For anyone letting property in or around Telegraph, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Telegraph use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
