Worktop repair in Colinton Mains without replacing anything
Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Typical jobs include dents and gouges and snagging damage in a new kitchen, on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Colinton Mains. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Colinton Mains
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)

Common questions in Colinton Mains
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Clean spills straight away
- Do not let water sit on joints
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
