Landlords, agents and businesses in Hirst
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How we handle worktop repair in Hirst
We repair worktops in place, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We work on solid wood, quartz and granite & marble, and people most often call us about a damaged sink edge and damage to a stone worktop.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Lanarkshire.

FAQs for Hirst
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you come to Hirst?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Hirst. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
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.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
When to call us in Hirst
Edges and corners chip most often, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Knife marks
- Scorch marks from pans
- Chips near the sink
- A dent from a dropped pan
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repair or replace in Hirst?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
