Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Teignmouth, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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 usually the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

What affects the price in Teignmouth

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you are in Teignmouth and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common problems we fix in Teignmouth

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • A chipped edge
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

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

What we work on

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

Teignmouth: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

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

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
