Trusted worktop repair in Dalwhinnie

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

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

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most customers in Dalwhinnie get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Dalwhinnie: your questions answered

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

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.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How much does worktop repair cost in Dalwhinnie?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Use a chopping board
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What we’re called out for in Dalwhinnie

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

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Gouges in the surface
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Burns from hot pans

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
