DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in South Portobello
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Questions from South Portobello
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Laminate
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
