Worktop repair in Aith, done in place
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Common call-outs are for snagging damage in a new kitchen and chips near the sink, across solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and laminate.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What else we do in Aith
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
If you manage property in Aith, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Re-oil timber worktops
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we’re called out for in Aith
Most chips are on edges and corners, normally from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

Related advice
Aith: your questions answered
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Failed support under the worktop
- Water-swollen laminate
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Should you replace it?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
