For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Howden as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When to call us in Howden
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips caused during installation
- Chipped corners
- Chips near the sink
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Never put hot pans down directly
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Questions from Howden
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you cover the whole of West Lothian?
The entire UK, including all of West Lothian. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
In most cases. A photo lets us check.
Do you cover Howden?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Howden from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you’re in Howden and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No need to remove anything
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
