Worktop repair at your home in Plockton

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Our repair technicians work on quartz, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people contact us are chipped corners and a chipped quartz edge.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Plockton and across Highland.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. 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. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

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

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Common questions in Plockton

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How much do I need to move?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Plockton.

Do you cover the whole of Highland?

Across the UK, and that includes Plockton. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire worktop and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

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

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Plockton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Do you need worktop repair in Plockton?

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips near the sink
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • A chipped quartz edge

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price covers travel
