Worktop repair at your home in Slateford
You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. We are frequently asked to fix a chipped quartz edge and damage from fitting or building work, across solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
FAQs for Slateford

What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do the materials smell?

Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Should you replace it?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value.

What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
