Worktop repair for Dreghorn homes

Worktop repair in Dreghorn without replacing anything

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We are often asked to fix burns from hot pans and knife marks, on solid wood, laminate and granite & marble.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Dreghorn as everywhere else we work.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Questions from Dreghorn

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

In most cases. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Dreghorn included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Repairing versus replacing in Dreghorn

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Dreghorn. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
