Worktop repair in Fernieside without replacing anything
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Common call-outs are for chips on edges and corners and scorch marks from pans, on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and solid wood.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Fernieside
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Common problems we fix in Fernieside
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on edges and corners
- Chips near the sink
- A heat mark or burn
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Aftercare advice
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How your room will be protected
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Solid wood
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep wood oiled
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
