How we handle worktop repair in Lauder
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on edges and corners and scratches and knife marks.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Lauder
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Advice
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Never put hot pans down directly
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
