Broxburn: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you cover the entire of East Lothian?

Across the UK, and that includes Broxburn. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  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. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Broxburn

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

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

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Broxburn
