Port Ellen: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A top that moves on its units
- Water-swollen laminate
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Port Ellen
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Signs you need worktop repair in Port Ellen
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips frequently start there.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
