Worktop repair in Bigton without replacing anything
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. If you’re dealing with damage around the sink cut-out and chips in quartz or granite, we can generally put it right, on granite & marble, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What your worktop is made of matters
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
FAQs for Bigton
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Do you cover Bigton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bigton and the rest of the Shetland Islands. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How much do I need to move?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price

Advice
Do you need worktop repair in Bigton?
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A damaged sink edge

What affects the price in Bigton
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most clients in Bigton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bigton
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.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Shetland Islands and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
