Worktop repair in Throwleigh, done in place

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Common call-outs are for damage to a stone worktop and gouges in the surface, in granite & marble, solid wood and laminate.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Throwleigh

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Dents and gouges
  • Damage from fitting or building work

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX20 postcode.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Are you accredited?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Solid surface

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

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean spills immediately
  • Use a chopping board
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

Most clients in Throwleigh get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
