Book worktop repair in Seafield

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

About our worktop repair in Seafield

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We are often asked to fix damage from fitting or building work and gouges in the surface, on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from Seafield

Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Seafield

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Seafield use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Do not leave spills to soak in

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Water-swollen laminate

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

Materials we work on in Seafield

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

Common problems we fix in Seafield

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips often start there.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • Chips near the sink
  • A chipped edge
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Dents and gouges

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
