How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Clean spills immediately

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Questions from Kingsbarns

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

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.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Kingsbarns, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Kingsbarns

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that is where cracks frequently begin.

Common reasons people in Kingsbarns contact us are:

  • A damaged sink edge
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Chipped corners
  • Damage from fitting or building work

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
