Worktop repair in Abune-the-Hill without replacing anything
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Common call-outs are for chips on edges and corners and scratches and knife marks, on quartz, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian).
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Abune-the-Hill and across the Orkney Islands.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Abune-the-Hill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Should you replace it?
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. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Abune-the-Hill clients choose us
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Fixed prices from your photos

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Water-swollen laminate
- Failed support under the worktop
- Cracks right through stone that has moved

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean spills straight away
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What affects the price in Abune-the-Hill
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
