Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Repairing versus replacing in Greendykes

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Greendykes clients choose us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

Take a look at our full price list.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Laminate
  • Quartz
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid wood

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Greendykes. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EH16 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Repairs by material

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
