DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How we handle worktop repair in Arbuthnott
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and quartz, and the jobs we see most are a chipped edge and a chipped quartz edge.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Arbuthnott
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Repairs by material
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Water-swollen laminate
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A top that moves on its units

FAQs for Arbuthnott
How much does worktop repair cost in Arbuthnott?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Normally. A picture lets us check what’s possible.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.
