Questions from Tongue
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Tongue and the rest of Highland. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How much does worktop repair cost in Tongue?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep wood oiled
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Use a chopping board
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. An early repair prevents it.
What we are called out for in Tongue

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
