Auldearn: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Normally. Send us a picture and we will tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Worktop repair in Auldearn without replacing anything
We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, with colour and pattern matched by hand. Nothing is taken out. Our repair technicians work on laminate, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most often call us about a heat mark or burn and snagging damage in a new kitchen.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Never put hot pans down directly
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Auldearn
If you manage property in Auldearn, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Common problems we fix in Auldearn
The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Look out for any of the following:
- A damaged sink edge
- Knife marks
- Gouges in the surface
- Chips in quartz or granite
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Should you replace it?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
