Worktop repair at your home in Backlands

- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.

Other services in Backlands
Backlands questions
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Moray, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Backlands
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Backlands, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What we’re called out for in Backlands
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A damaged sink edge
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Scratches and knife marks
- A dent from a dropped pan
Before booking anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Water-swollen laminate
- Severe heat marks in quartz
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Backlands
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the entire worktop
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IV30 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
