How we handle worktop repair in Swanston
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Our technicians work on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and the jobs we see most are knife marks and a dent from a dropped pan.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Swanston
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Your questions about worktop repair in Swanston
Do you cover Swanston?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Swanston and the rest of Edinburgh. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Edinburgh.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Should you replace it?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you are in Swanston and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
