How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Clean spills straight away

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need worktop repair in Jacobstowe

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • Knife marks
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chips in quartz or granite

What to look for in a quote

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Jacobstowe

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Jacobstowe: your questions answered

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
