Repair or replace: which is better?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Do you need worktop repair in Buckland Newton?
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Dents and gouges
- A chipped quartz edge
- Scratches and knife marks
- Chipped corners

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

What affects the price in Buckland Newton
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

FAQs for Buckland Newton
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Never put hot pans down directly
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
