Worktop repair in Eastriggs

Worktop repair in Eastriggs, done in place

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. Our technicians work on solid wood, laminate and granite & marble, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage in a new kitchen and chipped corners.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

FAQs for Eastriggs

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you cover Eastriggs?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Eastriggs. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price
