DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in

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

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

The process

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

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Carloway questions

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Wood

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

Repairing versus replacing in Carloway

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
