Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Worktop repair in Exnaboe, done in place
The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. We regularly repair quartz, granite & marble and laminate, and the jobs we see most are dents and gouges and chips caused during installation.

What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry

Advice
What we’re called out for in Exnaboe
The worst damage often 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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Knife marks
- Chips caused during installation
- A heat mark or burn
- A damaged sink edge
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Water-swollen laminate
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Dry around the sink and joints
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Exnaboe questions
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across the Shetland Islands.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Exnaboe?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Normally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
If you manage property in Exnaboe, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You don’t 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
