Worktop repair at your home in Dalkeith
The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. Common call-outs are for a dent from a dropped pan and chips on edges and corners, in laminate, quartz and solid wood.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Dalkeith, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.

Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

FAQs for Dalkeith
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you come to Dalkeith?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Dalkeith and the rest of Midlothian. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What affects the price in Dalkeith
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dalkeith. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
