Repairs by material

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Auchtertool

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

How to compare quotes

Auchtertool: your questions answered

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Auchtertool included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Typically, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you cover Auchtertool?

We do. We send a technician to Auchtertool for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Use a chopping board
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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