Worktop repair at your home in Arniston
Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. If you are dealing with a dent from a dropped pan and damage to a stone worktop, we can normally put it right, on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and laminate alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Arniston and across Midlothian.

What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Water-swollen laminate
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- A top that moves on its units

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Keep wood oiled
- Keep joints and edges dry
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Arniston use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
