DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Water-swollen laminate
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Most customers in East Craigs get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Keep wood oiled
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Craigs use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Questions from East Craigs
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Edinburgh.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do you need worktop repair in East Craigs?
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- A chipped quartz edge
- Burns from hot pans
- Dents and gouges
- Chips caused during installation
Comparing quotes
- Who will actually do the work
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
