There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you cover Edinburgh?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Materials we work on in Edinburgh
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid wood
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Keep wood oiled
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
Common problems we fix in Edinburgh
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Burns from hot pans
- A dent from a dropped pan
- A chipped quartz edge
- Damage around the sink cut-out
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Landlords, agents and businesses in Edinburgh
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.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Edinburgh. The price depends on:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you are in Edinburgh and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
