Worktop repair at your home in Stromness
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 regularly repair granite & marble, quartz and laminate, and common reasons people contact us are chips near the sink and cuts and scratches in the surface.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Failed support under the worktop
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Laminate
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Stromness: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Typically, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Stromness, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Stromness, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
