Landlord and trade work in East Devon
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we handle worktop repair in East Devon
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. We regularly repair laminate, solid wood and quartz, and the jobs we see most are scratches and knife marks and a damaged sink edge.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What else we do in East Devon
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in East Devon
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Clean spills right away
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to East Devon. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
East Devon questions
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in East Devon?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.
Should you replace it?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
