Worktop repair for Ferniehill homes

What affects the price in Ferniehill

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in Ferniehill get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Use a chopping board
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

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

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Common problems we fix in Ferniehill

  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Knife marks

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Ferniehill?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Ferniehill clients choose us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Ferniehill: your questions answered

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.

How much does worktop repair cost in Ferniehill?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your EH17 postcode.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
