Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

About our worktop repair in West Darlochan

We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, matching the colour and pattern by hand. The worktop stays in place. If you’re dealing with damage to a stone worktop and a dent from a dropped pan, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in West Darlochan and across Argyll and Bute.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

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

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  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

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Questions from West Darlochan

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including West Darlochan. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in West Darlochan

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Burns from hot pans

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
