Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Garlieston as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we’re called out for in Garlieston
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.
Common reasons people in Garlieston contact us include:
- Scorch marks from pans
- Chipped corners
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Damage to a stone worktop
Before booking anyone
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price
Repairing versus replacing in Garlieston
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Common questions in Garlieston
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you cover the whole of Dumfries and Galloway?
The whole UK, including all of Dumfries and Galloway. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you match granite flecks?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Do you cover Garlieston?
We do. We send a technician to Garlieston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
