Worktop repair in Kilmuir without replacing anything
You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Our repair technicians work on granite & marble, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people contact us are a chipped quartz edge and scratches and knife marks.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Kilmuir questions
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Re-oil timber worktops
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Repairs by material
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
What we are called out for in Kilmuir
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Damage from fitting or building work
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if they find more damage
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether a trained technician does the job
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
