DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we are called out for in Nitshill
The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
Common reasons people in Nitshill contact us include:
- Chipped corners
- Scorch marks from pans
- Knife marks
- A damaged sink edge
Comparing quotes
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Clean spills right away
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Dry around the sink and joints
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Nitshill. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
