About our worktop repair in Melvich

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. We regularly repair granite & marble, solid wood and quartz, and people most frequently call us about chips caused during installation and damage around the sink cut-out.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Melvich, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

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

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

FAQs for Melvich

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What areas do you cover?

All of Highland, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Melvich?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Normally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

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

Do you need worktop repair in Melvich?

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Chips in quartz or granite
