Questions from Kilkhampton
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Kilkhampton. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kilkhampton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Most customers in Kilkhampton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
