DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Portree
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
