Worktop repair at your home in Tinhay
You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. If you are dealing with chips in quartz or granite and dents and gouges, we can normally put it right, on quartz, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Tinhay and across Devon.

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Clean spills right away
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
