How it 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. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Wood

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

Your questions about worktop repair in St Andrews

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you repair quartz?

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

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What affects the price in St Andrews

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we’re called out for in St Andrews

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Dents and gouges
  • A chipped quartz edge

Before booking anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in St Andrews

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

Why repair rather than replace?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Take a look at our prices page.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
