Worktop repair in Fordoun without replacing anything
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We are often asked to fix chips near the sink and scratches and knife marks, in solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Fordoun
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean spills immediately
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Questions from Fordoun
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just near the damage. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Usually, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
