Worktop repair at your home in Colinton
Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. We work on solid wood, laminate and granite & marble, and common reasons people get in touch are cuts and scratches in the surface and chips near the sink.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlord and trade work in Colinton
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For anyone letting property in or around Colinton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Colinton
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Clean spills right away
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Watch the edges with heavy 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.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
Questions from Colinton
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How much does worktop repair cost in Colinton?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your EH13 postcode.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Usually, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
