How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What else we do in Whitecraig
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitecraig use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Lothian and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Use a chopping board
- Clean spills straight away
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
