About our worktop repair in Ratho Station
Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Typical jobs include cuts and scratches in the surface and chips on edges and corners, across granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Ratho Station
The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips on edges and corners
- Knife marks
- Scorch marks from pans
- Damage to a stone worktop

Your questions about worktop repair in Ratho Station
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you cover Ratho Station?
We do. We send a technician to Ratho Station for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your EH28 postcode.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Are there extra charges for Ratho Station?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Use a chopping board
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Landlord and trade work in Ratho Station
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
