DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a chopping board
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Do not let water sit on joints
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Muirhouses. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The material
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Muirhouses: your questions answered
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Muirhouses?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
