Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Southhouse: your questions answered
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?
We work UK-wide, so Southhouse is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
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.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage around the sink cut-out

- Chips on edges and corners
- A dent from a dropped pan
What your quote should include

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Failed support under the worktop
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Solid wood
