Worktop repair in Kirkton without replacing anything

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Common call-outs are for chips in quartz or granite and scratches and knife marks, in quartz, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian).

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Lothian.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Wood

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most clients in Kirkton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Kirkton: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of West Lothian. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Can landlords book you?

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

Do you come to Kirkton?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Kirkton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Water-swollen laminate

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kirkton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
