Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Common questions in Hoy
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Typically, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Do you cover the whole of the Orkney Islands?
The whole UK, including all of the Orkney Islands. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Signs you need worktop repair in Hoy
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips often start there.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A heat mark or burn
- Chips near the sink
- A dent from a dropped pan
- A chipped edge
What to look for in a quote

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Use a chopping board
- Keep wood oiled
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
What else we do in Hoy
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Repair or replace in Hoy?
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. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
