Your questions about worktop repair in Killochyett
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you cover the whole of the Scottish Borders?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Killochyett. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean spills straight away
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Landlord and trade work in Killochyett
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Killochyett use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common problems we fix in Killochyett
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Gouges in the surface
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
