Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate

About our worktop repair in Kirkwall

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use a chopping board
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Clean spills immediately
- Re-oil timber worktops
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Kirkwall. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Common questions in Kirkwall
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you work in Kirkwall?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Kirkwall and the rest of the Orkney Islands. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Usually, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- 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 match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should you replace it?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
