Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives are the most common worktop repairs. All are repaired in place. Our repair technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and laminate, and common reasons people get in touch are burns from hot pans and a chipped quartz edge.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Water-swollen laminate

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Monkland
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Old Monkland questions
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Are there extra charges for Old Monkland?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you come to Old Monkland?
We do. We send a technician to Old Monkland for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
