How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DD8 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

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.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Forfar questions

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Forfar?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you cover Forfar?

We do. Technicians travel to Forfar from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
