How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Old Town
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
Questions from Old Town
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?
Everywhere in the UK, Old Town included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just near the damage. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
In most cases. Send us a photo and we will tell you what’s possible.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Town
For anyone letting property in or around Old Town, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Discolouration deep in quartz
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
