How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Common questions in Lochee

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

In most cases. A picture lets us check.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do you work in Lochee?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lochee for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

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

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

Common problems we fix in Lochee

Most chips are on edges and corners, normally from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Chipped corners
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

Before you book anyone

  • How to care for the finish
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

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 normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
