Tripwell: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do you cover Tripwell?
We do. Technicians travel to Tripwell from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you cover the entire of the Shetland Islands?
We work UK-wide, so Tripwell is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Advice
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Keep wood oiled
- Wipe up spills quickly
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Around Tripwell
In Tripwell, that means homes near Whalsay Parish Church, among other places. The countryside around Tripwell includes Setter Hill and Loch of Houll.
Landlord and trade work in Tripwell
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repair or replace in Tripwell?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- No need to remove anything
- No extra charge for your area
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
Read our pricing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Signs you need worktop repair in Tripwell
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Look out for these signs:
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Scratches and knife marks
- Chips on edges and corners
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
