When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A top that moves on its units
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Gayfield: your questions answered
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Do you cover Gayfield?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Gayfield and the rest of Edinburgh. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
