What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Your questions about worktop repair in Craigentinny

Are there extra charges for Craigentinny?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Usually. A picture lets us check.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

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

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Edinburgh, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

What affects the price in Craigentinny

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Craigentinny. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Craigentinny

For anyone letting property in or around Craigentinny, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Use a chopping board

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

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Signs you need worktop repair in Craigentinny

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, and that is where cracks frequently begin.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A chipped edge
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Dents and gouges

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How to care for the finish
  • How long it needs to cure
