How we handle worktop repair in Craigend
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Whether it’s scratches and knife marks and damage from fitting or building work, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Dry around the sink and joints
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Questions from Craigend
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Do you cover the whole of Glasgow?
Everywhere in the UK, Craigend included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What else we do in Craigend
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Craigend. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Craigend
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Craigend use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
What we are called out for in Craigend
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips near the sink
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Gouges in the surface
- Knife marks
What to look for in a quote
- How to look after the finish
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again
