Strathy questions
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire worktop and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace in Strathy?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting 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 typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Water-swollen laminate
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Re-oil timber worktops
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. 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. An early repair prevents it.
