Worktop repair in Caddonfoot, done in place

Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Common call-outs are for knife marks and a heat mark or burn, on laminate, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian).

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Scottish Borders.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Clean spills right away
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Use a chopping board

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When to call us in Caddonfoot

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

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Chips in quartz or granite

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Our worktop repair starts 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.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business

FAQs for Caddonfoot

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Usually, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Caddonfoot included. There is no extra charge for travel.
