Common questions in Dornock

What information do you need?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What areas do you cover?

All of Dumfries and Galloway, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What happens next?

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

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

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

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise 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.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Chips on edges and corners

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
