Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Chipped corners
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Chips near the sink

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

How we handle worktop repair in Pilton

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. If you’re dealing with a chipped quartz edge and knife marks, we can usually put it right, on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Failed support under the worktop

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

What we work on

  • Granite & marble

Landlord and trade work in Pilton

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep wood oiled

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Common questions in Pilton

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What areas do you cover?

All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your BA4 postcode.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Somerset.

What affects the price in Pilton

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Pilton. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
