Worktop repair in Riccarton, done in place
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We work on solid wood, granite & marble and laminate, and people most frequently call us about scratches and knife marks and chips near the sink.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Riccarton: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Are there extra charges for Riccarton?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Signs you need worktop repair in Riccarton
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips frequently start there.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scratches and knife marks
- Chips caused during installation
- Burns from hot pans
- A chipped quartz edge
Comparing quotes
- What happens if they find more damage
- What preparation is included
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Keep wood oiled
- Use a chopping board
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Riccarton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
