Choosing a repair company

Your questions about worktop repair in Old Drumchapel

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Can you quote from photos?

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Drumchapel

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Old Drumchapel, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place

Take a look at our prices page.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Granite & marble
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
