What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Do you need worktop repair in Tranent?

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Knife marks
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Chips caused during installation

Before booking anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairing versus replacing in Tranent

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our prices page.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Tranent

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How much do I need to move?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

In most cases. A picture lets us check.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

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