Book worktop repair in Bude

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

If you manage property in Bude, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Do you need worktop repair in Bude?

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

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Dents and gouges
  • Chips on edges and corners

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Repair or replace in Bude?

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 generally far better value. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep wood oiled

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bude. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job.
