Worktop repair for Lochmaben homes

Should you replace it?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Worktop repair in Lochmaben 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. Whether it’s dents and gouges and chipped corners, we can help, on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Questions from Lochmaben

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you come to Lochmaben?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Wood

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

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Clean spills immediately

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

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

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Advice

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
