Common questions in Burravoe
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you cover the whole of the Shetland Islands?
The whole UK, including all of the Shetland Islands. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you work in Burravoe?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Burravoe and the rest of the Shetland Islands. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Worktop repair in Burravoe, done in place
The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. We regularly repair laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from fitting or building work and chips in quartz or granite.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Burravoe
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Burravoe. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Burravoe
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a 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. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
