How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Dry around the sink and joints

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

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Worktop repair at your home in Kirkliston

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We regularly repair quartz, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people get in touch are scorch marks from pans and cuts and scratches in the surface.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Kirkliston. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Kirkliston

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Kirkliston: your questions answered

Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Are there extra charges for Kirkliston?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 generally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
