Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Totnes. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

FAQs for Totnes

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you work in Totnes?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Totnes for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How do I book?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Solid surface

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

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Repairing versus replacing in Totnes

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our prices page.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

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.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

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. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
