What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Wood

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

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Waterside, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Common questions in Waterside

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Do you work in Waterside?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Waterside for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Waterside?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are there extra charges for Waterside?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you cover the whole of South Ayrshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Waterside and the rest of South Ayrshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job without visiting.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

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

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

When to call us in Waterside

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.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Scorch marks from pans
