DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lerwick. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
If you’re in Lerwick and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Use a chopping board
- Keep wood oiled
- Clean spills straight away
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lerwick
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lerwick as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repair or replace in Lerwick?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We leave the room as we found it
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A year’s guarantee on all work

FAQs for Lerwick
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Generally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

- Failed support under the worktop
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
