Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. Our technicians work on solid wood, granite & marble and laminate, and common reasons people contact us are damage to a stone worktop and burns from hot pans.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Dry around the sink and joints
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you’re in Helensburgh and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.
Helensburgh: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you match granite flecks?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
