About worktop repair in Edinburgh

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include cuts and scratches in the surface and damage to a stone worktop, on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Cost

Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

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

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Repairing versus replacing

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now.

Your questions about worktop repair in Edinburgh

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Normally. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
