About our worktop repair in Bishop's Tawton

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Whether it’s a heat mark or burn and gouges in the surface, we can help, on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and laminate alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bishop's Tawton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should you replace it?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Bishop's Tawton questions

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

We cover the whole UK, including Bishop's Tawton and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bishop's Tawton. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
