How we handle worktop repair in Roxburgh
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: 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. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are chips on edges and corners and scorch marks from pans.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace in Roxburgh?
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. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Roxburgh. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
