DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Lintmill

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

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Lintmill

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Common questions in Lintmill

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How much does worktop repair cost in Lintmill?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Moray, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

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.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Typically. A picture lets us check.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lintmill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

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

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
