Common questions in Ipplepen
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Ipplepen
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Gouges in the surface
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- A heat mark or burn
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Water-swollen laminate
- A top that moves on its units
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ipplepen use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Ipplepen, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Never put hot pans down directly
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
