Worktop repair in Unthank, Angus
Worktop repair in and around Unthank: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Knife marks
- Gouges in the surface
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Use a chopping board
- Keep wood oiled
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, 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.
Worktop repair in Unthank without replacing anything
We repair worktops in place. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. If you’re dealing with chips on edges and corners and damage from fitting or building work, we can help, on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and solid wood alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Unthank questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Angus.
How much do I need to move?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Water-swollen laminate
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A top that moves on its units
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
Should you replace it?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Unthank
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Angus and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
