How we handle worktop repair in Colyton

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We regularly repair quartz, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people contact us are cuts and scratches in the surface and dents and gouges.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlord and trade work in Colyton

For anyone letting property in or around Colyton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Colyton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our prices page.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Our hiring checklist

Common questions in Colyton

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you cover Colyton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Colyton and the rest of Devon. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  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. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
