About our worktop repair in Pilton

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We regularly repair granite & marble, quartz and laminate, and the jobs we see most are a dent from a dropped pan and chips near the sink.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Pilton: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Pilton included. Travel is included in the price.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

  • Chips on edges and corners

Choosing a repair company

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Pilton. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EX31 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Keep wood oiled

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
