Repairing versus replacing in Braehoulland
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Landlord and trade work in Braehoulland
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Shetland Islands and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep joints and edges dry
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
