For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A top that moves on its units
- Water-swollen laminate
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
Otterton: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you cover Otterton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Otterton and the rest of Devon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.
Do you cover the whole of Devon?
Across the UK, and that includes Otterton. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage.
- 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.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Otterton. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Otterton, and we will reply with a fixed price.
