DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Worktop repair at your home in Modbury
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Common call-outs are for a chipped edge and damage from fitting or building work, in solid wood, granite & marble and laminate.
Somewhere like Modbury, kitchens in older homes often have features worth keeping. A repair keeps the original look.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What affects the price in Modbury

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we’re called out for in Modbury
Edges and corners chip most frequently, often when something heavy catches the edge.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Burns from hot pans
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Chips on edges and corners
- Chips near the sink
Facilities teams at buildings such as Modbury Primary School can book us for staff kitchens too.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Clean spills right away
Keep hot or heavy items off the repaired area until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Why repair rather than replace?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Older homes around Modbury may have sizes and fittings that new pieces don’t match. A repair keeps the original.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

- Colour mixed on the day to match

How do I book?

Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together. Somewhere as small as Modbury, access is normally the main thing to plan. Once we’re there, the worktop repair works exactly as anywhere else.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
