Worktop repair in Shiel Bridge

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Worktop repair in Shiel Bridge without replacing anything

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives are the most common worktop repairs. We repair them all in your kitchen. Typical jobs include cuts and scratches in the surface and dents and gouges, in solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and granite & marble.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Shiel Bridge and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Use a chopping board
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shiel Bridge as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

Most customers in Shiel Bridge get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairs by material

Wood

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

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Shiel Bridge questions

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Highland.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Should you replace it?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
