Worktop repair in Lochgilphead without replacing anything
Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Typical jobs include chips caused during installation and damage to a stone worktop, across quartz, granite & marble and solid wood.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Lochgilphead questions
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Argyll and Bute.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, 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.
Repairing versus replacing in Lochgilphead
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Lochgilphead. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Lochgilphead, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

- A chipped quartz edge
- Damage from fitting or building work
