Worktop repair near Budleigh Salterton

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

FAQs for Budleigh Salterton

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What areas do you cover?

All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us
