Worktop repair in Branahuie, done in place

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. We work on laminate, quartz and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about burns from hot pans and a chipped quartz edge.

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

Your questions about worktop repair in Branahuie

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

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 I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Branahuie. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most clients in Branahuie get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Branahuie use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Use a chopping board
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

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