About our worktop repair in Kingsteignton
Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Our repair technicians work on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage in a new kitchen and cuts and scratches in the surface.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kingsteignton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Kingsteignton. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Quartz
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use a chopping board
- Keep wood oiled
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Do not knock pans against the edge
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
