When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Granite & marble
  • Quartz
  • Laminate
  • Solid wood
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

Worktop repair in Fankerton without replacing anything

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We work on granite & marble, laminate and quartz, and the jobs we see most are burns from hot pans and damage from fitting or building work.

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

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Fankerton

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Falkirk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Use a chopping board
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Fankerton. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Fankerton, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
