Worktop repair in Auchinleck, done in place
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. We are frequently asked to fix chips near the sink and gouges in the surface, across solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and granite & marble.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
