Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Common problems we fix in Scotland Street

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Knife marks
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Burns from hot pans

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Laminate
  • Quartz
  • Solid wood
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Granite & marble

FAQs for Scotland Street

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Usually, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Do you cover Scotland Street?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Scotland Street. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
