Worktop Repair in Drylaw
Our repair technicians come to Drylaw for chip, burn and scratch repairs to kitchen and bathroom worktops. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- A dent from a dropped pan
How we handle worktop repair in Drylaw
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Whether it’s damage to a stone worktop and a chipped edge, we can help, on solid wood, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos 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.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Drylaw as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Signs you need worktop repair in Drylaw
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Scorch marks from pans
- A chipped edge
- Scratches and knife marks
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How to care for the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- A top that moves on its units
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Questions from Drylaw
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
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.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you work in Drylaw?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Drylaw from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?
The whole UK, including all of Edinburgh. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a chopping board
- Clean spills straight away
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
