Worktop repair for Bruntsfield homes

Worktop repair at your home in Bruntsfield

Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We are often asked to fix chips near the sink and chipped corners, on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

  • Chips near the sink
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Scorch marks from pans

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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 photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Bruntsfield questions

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Normally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job without visiting.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
