How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Repairs by material
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Balerno use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Your questions about worktop repair in Balerno
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid wood
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean spills immediately
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Keep a trivet by the hob
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 chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
