Worktop repair at your home in Duddingston
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Our technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and laminate, and the jobs we see most are scratches and knife marks and chips near the sink.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A top that moves on its units
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Use a chopping board
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Advice
Duddingston: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
In most cases. A photo lets us check what’s possible.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Edinburgh and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Signs you need worktop repair in Duddingston
The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Scratches and knife marks
- Gouges in the surface
- Damage around the sink cut-out
What to look for in a quote

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
