Questions from South Poorton
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DT6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Quartz
What affects the price in South Poorton
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: 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.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Nothing taken out or refitted

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
