About our worktop repair in Ilfracombe
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We regularly repair granite & marble, solid wood and laminate, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on edges and corners and chips caused during installation.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from Ilfracombe
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Are there extra charges for Ilfracombe?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ilfracombe
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.
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.
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 normally far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Signs you need worktop repair in Ilfracombe
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Chips caused during installation
- A heat mark or burn
- A damaged sink edge
- Dents and gouges
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- Who turns up on the day
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Clean spills immediately
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A top that moves on its units
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
