Worktop repair in Craignure

Worktop repair in Craignure without replacing anything

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. We are often asked to fix scorch marks from pans and chips caused during installation, on granite & marble, quartz and laminate.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A top that moves on its units

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When to call us in Craignure

Most chips are on edges and corners, often when something heavy catches the edge.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • A heat mark or burn

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

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.

Granite and stone

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is the work guaranteed?

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
