Worktop repair in Swimbridge, done in place

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. We are often asked to fix damage to a stone worktop and a chipped edge, in granite & marble, solid wood and laminate.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Questions from Swimbridge

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Devon.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Are there extra charges for Swimbridge?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Swimbridge. The price comes down to:

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

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole worktop

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

What we are called out for in Swimbridge

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • Knife marks
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Chips near the sink

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EX32 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Swimbridge

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swimbridge as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Clean spills straight away

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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.
