Worktop repair in Dornoch, done in place

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Whether it’s chips on edges and corners and dents and gouges, we can help, on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and quartz alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Clean spills right away
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Common problems we fix in Dornoch

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • Chips near the sink
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Chips in quartz or granite

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Dornoch

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

Common questions in Dornoch

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you match granite flecks?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Dornoch and the rest of Highland. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is generally far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We do not add 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.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One price list for the entire UK

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

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

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Dornoch, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dornoch use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
