Common questions in Longstone
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Are there extra charges for Longstone?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How we handle worktop repair in Longstone
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are gouges in the surface and a chipped edge.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Longstone
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you’re in Longstone and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A top that moves on its units
- Water-swollen laminate
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Longstone
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Edinburgh and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repair or replace in Longstone?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
