Advice
Covering Pool
Pool is about 10 miles north of Tavistock, in Devon. Clients in Pool get the same service as everywhere else we cover: a fixed quote from pictures, and a technician at your door on the day. Pool is one of 586 towns and villages in Devon where we work.
Our visits in EX20 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. We also travel to Bridestowe (1 mile south-west), Sourton (1 mile east), Thorndon Cross (3 miles north), Lydford (3 miles south) and Bratton Clovelly (4 miles west). Larger places within reach include Tavistock (10 miles south), Okehampton (6 miles north-east), Holsworthy (14 miles north-west), Tiddy Brook Meadows (11 miles south), Bere Alston (15 miles south) and Hatherleigh (9 miles north).

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean spills right away
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Use a chopping board
- Keep joints and edges dry
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What affects the price in Pool
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Failed support under the worktop
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
FAQs for Pool
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you cover the whole of Devon?
Everywhere in the UK, Pool included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
In most cases. A picture lets us check what’s possible.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Devon.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
