How we handle worktop repair in Morningside
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 regularly repair laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and the jobs we see most are cuts and scratches in the surface and dents and gouges.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the price in Morningside
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
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.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Keep wood oiled
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. 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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Morningside: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Edinburgh. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire worktop and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
