Worktop repair at your home in Settiscarth
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Typical jobs include damage around the sink cut-out and a dent from a dropped pan, in quartz, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian).
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Settiscarth and across the Orkney Islands.

Common problems we fix in Settiscarth
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A chipped edge
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Scratches and knife marks
- Chips near the sink

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Settiscarth: your questions answered
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep wood oiled
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Do not leave spills to soak in
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Settiscarth. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Settiscarth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- The material, if you know it
