How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Common problems we fix in Newton Abbot
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- A chipped quartz edge
- Gouges in the surface
- Chips near the sink
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
Repair or replace: which is better?

Questions from Newton Abbot
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
