How we handle worktop repair in Buckfastleigh

We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. If you’re dealing with burns from hot pans and knife marks, we can help, on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Buckfastleigh questions

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Do you cover Buckfastleigh?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Buckfastleigh from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Repair or replace in Buckfastleigh?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Prices start from £95. 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.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Quartz

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

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
