Worktop repair in Scotby, done in place

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Our technicians work on quartz, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people contact us are gouges in the surface and scratches and knife marks.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

10 questions to ask before you book

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Scotby. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole worktop

For a price in Scotby, 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.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Scotby questions

Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?

The entire UK, including all of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do I need to be at home?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

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

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CA4 postcode.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover Scotby?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Scotby from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Landlord and trade work in Scotby

For anyone letting property in or around Scotby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

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