Worktop repair in Red Craig, Moray
Worktop repair in Red Craig without the cost of replacing. Send us photos for a fixed quote, then we come to you.
- Repairs from £95
- A heat mark or burn
- A dent from a dropped pan
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Keep wood oiled
- Use a chopping board
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Worktop repair in Red Craig without replacing anything
Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. Our technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are damage from fitting or building work and burns from hot pans.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A top that moves on its units
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
