Repairs by material
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Keep wood oiled
- Clean spills immediately
- Dry around the sink and joints
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
FAQs for Closeburn
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover Closeburn?
We do. We send a technician to Closeburn for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Closeburn?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
