What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  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. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Water-swollen laminate

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Lochdon

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you cover the entire of Argyll and Bute?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How much do I need to move?

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

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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 photos.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Lochdon, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
