Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Auchenhowie. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Auchenhowie: your questions answered

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Clean spills right away

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
