FAQs for Scalloway
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you cover Scalloway?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Scalloway from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Scalloway?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your ZE1 postcode.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Generally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What affects the price in Scalloway
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in Scalloway and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Water-swollen laminate
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Failed support under the worktop
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a chopping board
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Do not knock pans against the edge
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Repair or replace in Scalloway?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
