Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean spills straight away
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Questions from Humbie
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Typically, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
What areas do you cover?
All of East Lothian, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire worktop
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
