About our worktop repair in Craigside

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. Typical jobs include chips in quartz or granite and a damaged sink edge, in granite & marble, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian).

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.

Why repair rather than replace?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Do not leave spills to soak in

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

FAQs for Craigside

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Generally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
