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. If you’re dealing with scratches and knife marks and chips caused during installation, we can help, on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Dunbar and across East Lothian.

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Your questions about worktop repair in Dunbar
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
In most cases. A photo lets us check.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Get a quote
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Use a chopping board
- Clean spills right away
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Never put hot pans down directly
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Should you replace it?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
