When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Laminate
  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid wood

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

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

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Repair or replace in North Connel?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

North Connel: your questions answered

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover North Connel?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to North Connel and the rest of Argyll and Bute. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it messy?

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

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Use a chopping board
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Do not knock pans against the edge

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
