Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Allercombe. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water-swollen laminate
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Allercombe

Common questions in Allercombe
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you come to Allercombe?
We do. Technicians travel to Allercombe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Are there extra charges for Allercombe?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Use a chopping board
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
Repairing versus replacing in Allercombe
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good.
