Blackhills questions

Do you cover the entire of Moray?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you work in Blackhills?

We do. Technicians travel to Blackhills from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Clean spills straight away

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Do you need worktop repair in Blackhills?

Most chips are on edges and corners, generally from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Burns from hot pans
  • A dent from a dropped pan

Questions to ask before booking

  • How your room will be protected
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the colour is matched
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one 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. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
