How we handle worktop repair in Strontian

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. If you’re dealing with dents and gouges and knife marks, we can normally put it right.

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

10 questions to ask before you book

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

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

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Strontian?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Strontian. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Do not knock pans against the edge

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Strontian

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Strontian. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Strontian, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Strontian

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Are you accredited?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Strontian and the rest of Highland. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
