DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Worktop repair at your home in Lochans
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. We work on laminate, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are damage from fitting or building work and chips in quartz or granite.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dumfries and Galloway.

- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Questions from Lochans
Can you match granite flecks?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lochans. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically 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.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Failed support under the worktop
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Solid wood
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

About worktop repair
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
