Repair or replace in Walkerburn?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean spills right away
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Keep wood oiled

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Walkerburn questions

Are there extra charges for Walkerburn?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Typically. Send us a picture and we will tell you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in Walkerburn

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
