Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
How we handle worktop repair in Turnchapel
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. If you are dealing with a damaged sink edge and snagging damage in a new kitchen, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Plymouth.

When to call us in Turnchapel
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
Common reasons people in Turnchapel contact us are:
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Damage from fitting or building work
- Chipped corners
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use a chopping board
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Never put hot pans down directly
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Turnchapel. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Turnchapel questions
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Turnchapel and the rest of Plymouth. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Discolouration deep in quartz
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Turnchapel
- Laminate

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace in Turnchapel?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
