Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
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 matters when someone is living in the home.
Worktop repair in Tavistock without replacing anything
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Our technicians work on granite & marble, quartz and laminate, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused during installation and chipped corners.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Tavistock
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- Chips on edges and corners
- A heat mark or burn
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
Questions to ask before booking

- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How long it needs to cure
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Tavistock, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
