Worktop repair at your home in Drumbuie
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We work on solid wood, granite & marble and laminate, and people most often call us about chips near the sink and chips caused during installation.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate

When to call us in Drumbuie
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- A chipped quartz edge
- Damage from fitting or building work
- Chipped corners
- Scratches and knife marks
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How to look after the finish
- How long it needs to cure
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repair or replace in Drumbuie?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

FAQs for Drumbuie
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How much do I need to move?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Drumbuie. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
