Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ottery St Mary

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Your questions about worktop repair in Ottery St Mary

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Are there extra charges for Ottery St Mary?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you come to Ottery St Mary?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ottery St Mary. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Laminate
  • Quartz
  • Solid wood
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ottery St Mary. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
