Worktop repair in St Mary's without replacing anything
Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Common call-outs are for a damaged sink edge and gouges in the surface, on granite & marble, laminate and quartz.
Every job is backed for twelve months in St Mary's and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

FAQs for St Mary's
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across the Orkney Islands.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you cover the whole of the Orkney Islands?
All of the Orkney Islands, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use a chopping board
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Clean spills right away
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
