How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Clovelly

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What we are called out for in Clovelly

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A damaged sink edge
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Knife marks
  • Burns from hot pans

How to compare quotes

Your questions about worktop repair in Clovelly

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you cover Clovelly?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Clovelly and the rest of Devon. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

When a repair isn’t the answer

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
