Repair or replace: which is better?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When to call us in Aberlour
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Scorch marks from pans
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Scratches and knife marks

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Clean spills right away
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Discolouration deep in quartz
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your AB38 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
