Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Dry around the sink and joints
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Landlord and trade work in Pierowall
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pierowall use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pierowall. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
