Landlords, agents and businesses in Bigbury-on-Sea

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

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Bigbury-on-Sea questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only around the repair. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Bigbury-on-Sea.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What we are called out for in Bigbury-on-Sea

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that is where cracks frequently begin.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • A chipped edge
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the room is protected while they work

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
