FAQs for Glenlochar
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What areas do you cover?
All of Dumfries and Galloway, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you come to Glenlochar?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Glenlochar. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire worktop and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Clean spills right away
- Do not let water sit on joints
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Common problems we fix in Glenlochar
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.

Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Should you replace it?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
