Common questions in South Zeal
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in South Zeal.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Use a chopping board
- Re-oil timber worktops
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
