Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. We regularly repair solid wood, quartz and laminate, and common reasons people get in touch are chips near the sink and knife marks.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Kirknewton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid wood
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Laminate

FAQs for Kirknewton

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Kirknewton?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your EH27 postcode.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
