How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

About Brae
Brae is in the Shetland Islands. We visit homes and businesses in Brae, so there’s no workshop to go to. Brae is one of 63 places in the Shetland Islands we cover.
We work across the ZE2 postcode area and the streets around it. Whether you live on Runafirth, Ladieside and Hevdaland or a nearby road, we can come to you. We also cover the places around Brae: Sullom (3 miles north), Scatsta (3 miles north-east), Voe (4 miles south-east), Firth (6 miles north-east) and Hogaland (7 miles north). Brae is among the bigger towns we cover in the Shetland Islands. Some remote addresses need extra planning, so it’s best to call first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Clean spills immediately
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Water-swollen laminate

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Questions from Brae
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
