Your questions about worktop repair in Kirkintilloch
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
