Repairs by material

Granite and stone

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

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Worktop repair in Carradale, done in place

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Our repair technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners and scratches and knife marks.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you are in Carradale and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Solid wood
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Granite & marble
  • Laminate
  • Quartz

Your questions about worktop repair in Carradale

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

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

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Repairing versus replacing in Carradale

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
