Questions from Barnton

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

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

Do you cover the whole of Edinburgh?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Barnton. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you come to Barnton?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Barnton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most customers in Barnton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Barnton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
