What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Failed support under the worktop

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Questions from Portmahomack

Do you work in Portmahomack?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Portmahomack from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Highland. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Portmahomack use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Granite and stone

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
