DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
About our worktop repair in Cummertrees
We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. If you are dealing with a chipped quartz edge and burns from hot pans, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Cummertrees
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Dumfries and Galloway. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Repair or replace in Cummertrees?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cummertrees. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cummertrees as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Keep wood oiled
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
