Worktop repair at your home in Slapton

Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. If you’re dealing with a chipped quartz edge and knife marks, we can generally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Slapton

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips often start there.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chipped corners
  • Chips in quartz or granite

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. 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. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Take a look at our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Slapton

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in Slapton

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Slapton. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TQ7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Slapton

Which areas do you work in?

All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Slapton?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TQ7 postcode.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Usually. A picture lets us check.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
