Our hiring checklist

Ermington: your questions answered

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Typically. A photo lets us check.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

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

Do you come to Ermington?

We do. Technicians travel to Ermington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are there extra charges for Ermington?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Ermington

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Ermington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

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.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

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. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
