About our worktop repair in Braeside

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. We work on quartz, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people get in touch are burns from hot pans and a dent from a dropped pan.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Braeside and across Inverclyde.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why Braeside clients choose us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Braeside: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you work in Braeside?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Braeside for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Solid wood
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Laminate
  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble

Do you need worktop repair in Braeside?

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Knife marks
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • A chipped edge

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Use a chopping board
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
