FAQs for Kirbister
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Worktop repair at your home in Kirbister
We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Common call-outs are for chips on edges and corners and burns from hot pans, in quartz, solid wood and granite & marble.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Kirbister
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What else we do in Kirbister
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Keep joints and edges dry
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. 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.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What affects the price in Kirbister
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from photos so you do not 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, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
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 risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
