DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

FAQs for Shebbear

Do you work in Shebbear?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Shebbear. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Shebbear, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
