Common questions in Lochaline

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you come to Lochaline?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lochaline for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole worktop

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lochaline

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Argyll and Bute and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Lochaline

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
