Worktop repair in Gallowgate

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Worktop repair in Gallowgate, done in place

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Common call-outs are for damage around the sink cut-out and chips in quartz or granite, on granite & marble, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian).

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Gallowgate and across Glasgow.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Gallowgate

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gallowgate. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
