Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thelbridge as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

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.

Worktop repair at your home in Thelbridge

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. If you’re dealing with chipped corners and damage to a stone worktop, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Common questions in Thelbridge

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Are you accredited?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

How much do I need to move?

Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Thelbridge

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

Do you need worktop repair in Thelbridge?

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Chips caused during installation

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How the room is protected while they work

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
