Repairs by material
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barnhill as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Questions from Barnhill
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you cover the entire of Dundee?
All of Dundee, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Generally. A picture lets us check.
Are there extra charges for Barnhill?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Dundee.
How much do I need to move?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
