Trusted worktop repair in Slackbuie

Worktop repair in Slackbuie without replacing anything

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Whether it’s snagging damage in a new kitchen and a chipped quartz edge, we can usually put it right, on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and quartz alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we are called out for in Slackbuie

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Look out for these signs:

  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Dents and gouges
  • A chipped edge

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Failed support under the worktop

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Use a chopping board

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Slackbuie as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Repairing versus replacing in Slackbuie

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Granite and stone

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

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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.
