How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use a chopping board
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Landlord and trade work in Skinflats
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Skinflats use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- 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
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Skinflats questions
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Typically. A picture lets us check.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your FK2 postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover the whole of Falkirk?
All of Falkirk, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A top that moves on its units
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
