Worktop repair for Burdiehouse homes

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Keep wood oiled

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

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

About our worktop repair in Burdiehouse

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. If you are dealing with cuts and scratches in the surface and snagging damage in a new kitchen, we can normally put it right, on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should you replace it?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Landlord and trade work in Burdiehouse

Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry

How we price worktop repair

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back

Most customers in Burdiehouse get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
