About our worktop repair in Castle Kennedy
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Typical jobs include dents and gouges and cuts and scratches in the surface, on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Castle Kennedy questions
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How much does worktop repair cost in Castle Kennedy?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do you cover the entire of Dumfries and Galloway?
Everywhere in the UK, Castle Kennedy included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you work in Castle Kennedy?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Castle Kennedy and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A top that moves on its units
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
Repairing versus replacing in Castle Kennedy
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
