Howden Hall: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Edinburgh, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.
Should you replace it?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What affects the price in Howden Hall
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Water-swollen laminate
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Common problems we fix in Howden Hall
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Scratches and knife marks
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Burns from hot pans
- Chips in quartz or granite
Comparing quotes
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use a chopping board
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
