Worktop repair in Greenside, done in place
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Common call-outs are for scratches and knife marks and chips caused during installation, across solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and laminate.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Greenside: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What areas do you cover?
All of Edinburgh, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
