Worktop repair at your home in the Shetland Islands

Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Common call-outs are for a chipped edge and cuts and scratches in the surface, across granite & marble, solid wood and laminate.

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

What it costs in the Shetland Islands

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for the Shetland Islands. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What’s near Lerwick

Typical jobs here are in homes near St Margaret's Roman Catholic Church, Grand Hotel and Anderson High School, among other places. A little further out are Gilbert Bain Hospital (within half a mile south) and Shetland Museum (less than half a mile north-east). For a walk, there’s Setter Hill and Clickimin Loch.

Repairing versus replacing

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place.

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What affects the price in the Shetland Islands

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire worktop

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in the Shetland Islands

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that’s where cracks often begin.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Chips on edges and corners

the Shetland Islands questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
