Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Water-swollen laminate

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Questions from Cromdale

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

Are there extra charges for Cromdale?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you cover the whole of Highland?

Everywhere in the UK, Cromdale included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Cromdale. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

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.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Cromdale

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Highland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Wood

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

What we’re called out for in Cromdale

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips frequently start there.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chips near the sink
  • A chipped edge
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Scorch marks from pans

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
