Worktop repair at your home in Torphin
Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives are the most common worktop repairs. We repair them all in your kitchen. Our technicians work on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are damage from fitting or building work and a dent from a dropped pan.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should you replace it?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A fixed quote before booking
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EH13 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions about worktop repair in Torphin
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just near the damage. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
