How we handle worktop repair in Strichen

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. We work on granite & marble, solid wood and quartz, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped quartz edge and dents and gouges.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Strichen. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Do you need worktop repair in Strichen?

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that is where cracks often begin.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chipped corners
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chips caused during installation

Comparing quotes

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common questions in Strichen

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover Strichen?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Strichen. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
