Choosing a repair company

Worktop repair in Combe Fishacre without replacing anything

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. We are frequently asked to fix a chipped quartz edge and a dent from a dropped pan, across solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Combe Fishacre questions

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you work in Combe Fishacre?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Combe Fishacre and the rest of Devon. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Combe Fishacre

  • Solid wood
  • Granite & marble
  • Laminate
  • Quartz
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Clean spills right away

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.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
