Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Ardchonnell

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

Repairing versus replacing in Ardchonnell

A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Do not knock pans against the edge

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Common problems we fix in Ardchonnell

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips near the sink
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • A heat mark or burn
  • A chipped edge

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover the whole of Argyll and Bute?

We cover the whole UK, including Ardchonnell and the rest of Argyll and Bute. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

What happens next?

Is there any odour?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz
