Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Clean spills right away
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What else we do in Blackhill
When to call us in Blackhill
The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Chips on edges and corners
- Gouges in the surface
- Scorch marks from pans
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Blackhill questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Orkney Islands and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

What we do, step by step

- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.

- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
