Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

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

Materials we work on in West Clyst

  • Granite & marble
  • Solid wood

Landlord and trade work in West Clyst

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

For anyone letting property in or around West Clyst, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  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. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Solid surface

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

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What affects the price in West Clyst

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for West Clyst. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Your questions about worktop repair in West Clyst

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, West Clyst included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX1 postcode.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How much do I need to move?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
