For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
New Inn questions
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including New Inn and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including New Inn. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What we’re called out for in New Inn
The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A heat mark or burn
- Dents and gouges
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Chipped corners
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
