Need worktop repair in Hardgate?

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Scorch marks from pans

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

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 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.

How quickly can you book me in?

Do you hold any accreditations?

Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dumfries and Galloway and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
