Other services in Auchencairn
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Auchencairn: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Water-swollen laminate
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Do not knock pans against the edge
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
For a price in Auchencairn, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
