DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

When to call us in Marchmont

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Gouges in the surface

How to compare quotes

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Marchmont. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most clients in Marchmont get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Use a chopping board
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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