You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Failed support under the worktop
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Kilmington questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Devon.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
