Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep wood oiled
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Marldon: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Torbay.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Usually. A photo lets us check what’s possible.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
When to call us in Marldon
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Damage to a stone worktop
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Damage from fitting or building work

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What affects the price in Marldon
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Marldon. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Marldon. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Marldon
If you manage property in Marldon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Water-swollen laminate
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
