Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Never put hot pans down directly
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Common questions in Greenbank
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?
Everywhere in the UK, Greenbank included. Travel is included in the price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Usually, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Do you need worktop repair in Greenbank?
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that is where cracks often begin.
Look out for any of the following:
- Scratches and knife marks
- Damage from fitting or building work
- Chips on edges and corners
- Chips in quartz or granite
Comparing quotes
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who will actually do the work
Why repair rather than replace?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.
