Our hiring checklist

How we handle worktop repair in Greenigoe

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new kitchen and a dent from a dropped pan.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Orkney Islands.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

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

Materials we repair

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Greenigoe as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Greenigoe: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you cover Greenigoe?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Greenigoe and the rest of the Orkney Islands. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What affects the price in Greenigoe

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
