Worktop repair for Bickington homes

Worktop repair at your home in Bickington

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. We are frequently asked to fix a damaged sink edge and a chipped edge, across laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bickington and across Devon.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Bickington. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Do not leave spills to soak in

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

When to call us in Bickington

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A chipped edge
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Dents and gouges

Bickington questions

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
