Common questions in Staffin

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How much do I need to move?

Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

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

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Usually. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you.

About our worktop repair in Staffin

Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Whether it’s a heat mark or burn and damage around the sink cut-out, we can normally put it right, on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and granite & marble alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Staffin and across Highland.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Water-swollen laminate

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

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

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 chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

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

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

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

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

What affects the price in Staffin

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
