Landlords, agents and businesses in Fairy Cross

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.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What affects the price in Fairy Cross

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you are in Fairy Cross and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common problems we fix in Fairy Cross

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Chips near the sink
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Gouges in the surface

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before booking

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

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

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Fairy Cross: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Do you work in Fairy Cross?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Fairy Cross from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your EX39 postcode.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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 the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
