About our worktop repair in Scales
Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Whether it’s burns from hot pans and scratches and knife marks, we can help, on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and laminate alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

FAQs for Scales
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are there extra charges for Scales?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in Scales get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Scales

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean spills straight away
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
