Do I have to be there?

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

How we handle worktop repair in Bickleigh

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and granite & marble, and people most frequently call us about gouges in the surface and chips on edges and corners.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Never put hot pans down directly

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Laminate
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid wood
  • Quartz
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

What affects the price in Bickleigh

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

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. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Do you need worktop repair in Bickleigh?

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Gouges in the surface

Comparing quotes

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
