Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

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.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Worktop repair in Auchleven without replacing anything

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We are frequently asked to fix a chipped quartz edge and dents and gouges, in solid wood, quartz and granite & marble.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

If you’re in Auchleven and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Auchleven

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Auchleven. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
