Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Worktop repair in Auldcathie without replacing anything

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. We work on quartz, solid wood and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners and chips near the sink.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

FAQs for Auldcathie

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Auldcathie. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

When to call us in Auldcathie

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A chipped edge
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot 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.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
