Worktop repair for Tarbert homes

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Worktop repair in Tarbert without replacing anything

We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, matching the colour and pattern by hand. Nothing is taken out. Whether it’s scratches and knife marks and damage around the sink cut-out, we can help, on quartz, solid wood and granite & marble alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What we are called out for in Tarbert

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A damaged sink edge
  • A chipped edge
  • Burns from hot pans

Comparing quotes

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Tarbert: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do I need to be at home?

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

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

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

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tarbert

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Na h-Eileanan Siar and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What worktop repair costs

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
