Our hiring checklist

Worktop repair in Appledore, done in place

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Typical jobs include burns from hot pans and snagging damage in a new kitchen, on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and laminate.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Appledore

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Appledore

  • Solid wood

Common questions in Appledore

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

We cover the whole UK, including Appledore and the rest of Devon. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
