What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire worktop
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Torpoint: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are there extra charges for Torpoint?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep wood oiled
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Wipe up spills quickly
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
