- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Repairs by material
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
FAQs for Polton
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
Do you cover the whole of Midlothian?
We work UK-wide, so Polton is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you work in Polton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Polton and the rest of Midlothian. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How much do I need to move?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

When to call us in Polton
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Burns from hot pans
- Chips on edges and corners
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How your room will be protected
- Aftercare advice
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep wood oiled
- Clean spills straight away
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Polton. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
