Worktop repair for Dartington homes

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Worktop repair in Dartington without replacing anything

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. If you’re dealing with chipped corners and a dent from a dropped pan, we can help, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlord and trade work in Dartington

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dartington as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

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

Materials we work on in Dartington

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

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
