What else we do in Craichie
Common questions in Craichie
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Craichie?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Repairing versus replacing in Craichie
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Common problems we fix in Craichie
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that is where cracks frequently begin.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Chipped corners
- A damaged sink edge
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
Before you book anyone
- Aftercare advice
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who turns up on the day
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Craichie. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DD8 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
