What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
About our worktop repair in Skeabrae
Laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and wooden worktops can all be repaired, with colour and pattern matched by hand. The worktop stays in place. We work on solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most often call us about a dent from a dropped pan and a heat mark or burn.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repair or replace: which is better?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour-matched on site

Skeabrae: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you cover Skeabrae?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Skeabrae for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
What we are called out for in Skeabrae
Most chips are on edges and corners, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- Chipped corners
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage
- How your room will be protected
- How soon you can use it again

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
