Worktop repair in Craigmillar without replacing anything
Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. Common call-outs are for damage to a stone worktop and a dent from a dropped pan, on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Never put hot pans down directly
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Craigmillar: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you cover Craigmillar?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Craigmillar from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you match granite flecks?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

- Burnt or loose material is cut back.

- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive

- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What your worktop is made of matters
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. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
