About our worktop repair in Pilrig

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with a dent from a dropped pan and snagging damage in a new kitchen, we can usually put it right, on granite & marble, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Pilrig. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pilrig

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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Why repair rather than replace?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Common questions in Pilrig

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
