Signs you need worktop repair in Granton
The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scorch marks from pans
- Dents and gouges
- Chipped corners
- A chipped quartz edge
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Aftercare advice
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Keep joints and edges dry
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Your questions about worktop repair in Granton
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Edinburgh. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Water-swollen laminate
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Failed support under the worktop
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Granton. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
