The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Applecross
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Also in Applecross
Should you replace it?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Failed support under the worktop
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use a chopping board
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
