What we’re called out for in Doonfoot

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A damaged sink edge

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Doonfoot

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Doonfoot: your questions answered

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

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

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Normally. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you what’s possible.

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Doonfoot. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Use a chopping board

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Doonfoot. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
