Landlord and trade work in Ideford
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

About our worktop repair in Ideford
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We are frequently asked to fix dents and gouges and damage from fitting or building work, in quartz, solid wood and laminate.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ideford. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ideford, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Clean spills immediately
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
