Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
Worktop repair in Carrick Knowe without replacing anything
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Our technicians work on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and common reasons people contact us are gouges in the surface and chips near the sink.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
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.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

When a repair is not the answer

- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Severe heat marks in quartz
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive

- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Should you replace it?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- One-year guarantee on every repair

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
