FAQs for Wigtown

Do you come to Wigtown?

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

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

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How we handle worktop repair in Wigtown

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We’re often asked to fix a heat mark or burn and chips caused during installation, in quartz, solid wood and granite & marble.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place

Read our prices page.

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Granite and stone

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

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Clean spills straight away

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Common problems we fix in Wigtown

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A chipped edge
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Dents and gouges
  • Chips in quartz or granite

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
