Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Common call-outs are for damage around the sink cut-out and damage from fitting or building work, on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate.

Questions from Ecclefechan
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Normally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Do not knock pans against the edge
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
Most clients in Ecclefechan get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Quartz
Repair or replace: which is better?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
