About our worktop repair in Prestonpans

We repair worktops in place. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Common call-outs are for damage to a stone worktop and snagging damage in a new kitchen, on laminate, quartz and solid wood.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Prestonpans: your questions answered

Do you cover Prestonpans?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Prestonpans. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH32 postcode.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

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

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Use a chopping board
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Do not leave spills to soak in

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Solid wood
  • Granite & marble
  • Laminate
  • Quartz

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
