What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Crediton. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most customers in Crediton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
FAQs for Crediton
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Crediton
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
