Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Related advice

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Patchole questions

Do you cover Patchole?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Patchole and the rest of Devon. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Devon.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Landlord and trade work in Patchole

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Patchole as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What we are called out for in Patchole

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 gradually from knives and grit.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A chipped edge
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Damage to a stone worktop

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
