10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Use a chopping board
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A top that moves on its units

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Inverleith

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Laminate

Your questions about worktop repair in Inverleith

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
