Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Use a chopping board
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Baberton questions

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you cover Baberton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Baberton and the rest of Edinburgh. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Landlord and trade work in Baberton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

How to compare quotes

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Different materials, different repairs

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
