Worktop repair in New Town, Edinburgh
We travel to New Town for chip, burn and scratch repairs to kitchen and bathroom worktops. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on edges and corners
- Damage to a stone worktop
Should you replace it?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What your worktop is made of matters
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Keep wood oiled
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
New Town questions
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Landlord and trade work in New Town
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
