Landlord and trade work in Whimple

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Questions from Whimple

Do you come to Whimple?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Whimple. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Are there extra charges for Whimple?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

In most cases. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you what’s possible.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Whimple, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

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