For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Common problems we fix in Gartness

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Common reasons people in Gartness contact us are:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • A chipped edge

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price

FAQs for Gartness

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How much do I need to move?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

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

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Clean spills immediately
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Use a chopping board
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Should you replace it?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
