Worktop repair at your home in Cunningsburgh
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. If you’re dealing with chips near the sink and gouges in the surface, we can generally put it right, on solid wood, quartz and granite & marble alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A top that moves on its units

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Do you need worktop repair in Cunningsburgh?

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common questions in Cunningsburgh
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across the Shetland Islands.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Keep wood oiled
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Should you replace it?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
