Howgate questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you come to Howgate?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Howgate for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you match granite flecks?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Do you cover the whole of Midlothian?
All of Midlothian, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Worktop repair in Howgate, done in place
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Typical jobs include chips on edges and corners and damage to a stone worktop, on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and granite & marble.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repair or replace in Howgate?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
