DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When to call us in Nether Blainslie
Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, and that is where cracks frequently begin.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Knife marks
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Chips near the sink
- Chips on edges and corners
What to look for in a quote
- How to care for the finish
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Should you replace it?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Your questions about worktop repair in Nether Blainslie
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use a chopping board
- Clean spills immediately
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
