How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Clean spills straight away
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Landlord and trade work in Whiterow
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, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Common problems we fix in Whiterow
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Scorch marks from pans
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Gouges in the surface
- A chipped edge

FAQs for Whiterow
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Highland.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
Most customers in Whiterow get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repair or replace: which is better?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
