Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Longniddry
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Longniddry and the rest of East Lothian. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire worktop and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Longniddry?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace in Longniddry?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Keep wood oiled
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
What we are called out for in Longniddry
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips frequently start there.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Burns from hot pans
- A chipped edge
- Damage to a stone worktop
- A dent from a dropped pan
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to look after the finish
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longniddry use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
