About our worktop repair in Athelstaneford
We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We regularly repair quartz, solid wood and laminate, and people most often call us about snagging damage in a new kitchen and chips near the sink.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Keep joints and edges dry
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Your questions about worktop repair in Athelstaneford
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Should you replace it?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
