Why repair rather than replace?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

What affects the price in East Prawle

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

East Prawle: your questions answered

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Landlords, agents and businesses in East Prawle

Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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 in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Use a chopping board

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

When to call us in East Prawle

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • A chipped edge
  • A heat mark or burn

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
