Auchenblae: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes, frequently. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A top that moves on its units
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Auchenblae as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most clients in Auchenblae get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
