Trusted worktop repair in Greenlaw

Worktop repair in Greenlaw without replacing anything

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. We work on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are scratches and knife marks and scorch marks from pans.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Choosing a repair company

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Greenlaw. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Greenlaw: your questions answered

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Normally. A picture lets us check what’s possible.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Repair or replace in Greenlaw?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
