DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dowanhill
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Your questions about worktop repair in Dowanhill
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Glasgow. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Keep wood oiled
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Failed support under the worktop
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Laminate

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace in Dowanhill?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
