Worktop repair at your home in Argyll and Bute

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Common call-outs are for chips near the sink and damage to a stone worktop, across quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate.

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
We cut back any burnt or loose material.
We fill and shape the damaged area.
The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

What’s near Helensburgh

Typical jobs here are in homes near Lomond School, The Henry Bell pub and St Joseph's R.C. Church and the streets around them. Helensburgh has its own railway station: Helensburgh Central station. Further afield, we also cover the area around Ardencaple Castle (1.3 miles west) and Victoria Infirmary (0.5 miles south-east). Not far away are Lyle Hill.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Signs you need worktop repair

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips frequently start there.

The most common problems we are called about are:

Burns from hot pans
Knife marks
Damage to a stone worktop
Chips near the sink

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Argyll and Bute. The price depends on:

How much damage there is
The type of damage
Where the damage is and how we get to it
Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

What it’s made of, if you know
Any earlier repairs or coatings
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Should you replace it?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

We do. We send a technician to Argyll and Bute for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
