How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EX5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Farringdon
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Farringdon: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Devon.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
