About our worktop repair in Pilton
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We regularly repair quartz, laminate and granite & marble, and common reasons people contact us are dents and gouges and burns from hot pans.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

Questions from Pilton
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Edinburgh. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Do you work in Pilton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Pilton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Generally. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Can I fix it myself?
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 fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What affects the price in Pilton
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Pilton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
