DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Altnaharra: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How much do I need to move?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Altnaharra.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the price in Altnaharra
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Altnaharra. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Altnaharra. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
