Worktop repair in Wilmington without replacing anything

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. If you are dealing with knife marks and chipped corners, we can generally put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional 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.

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

Wilmington questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Wilmington.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Normally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Do you need worktop repair in Wilmington?

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Damage to a stone worktop

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

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

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One price list for the entire UK
