Worktop repair in Sighthill, Edinburgh
Problem with your worktop in Sighthill? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Knife marks
- Scorch marks from pans
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
How we handle worktop repair in Sighthill
You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. If you’re dealing with gouges in the surface and chipped corners, we can help, on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Questions from Sighthill
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
In most cases. A photo lets us check.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Edinburgh. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Repairs by material
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.
When to call us in Sighthill
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- A chipped edge
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- Damage from fitting or building work
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- What prep work is covered
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Failed support under the worktop
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
