Worktop repair at your home in the Scottish Borders
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. We work on quartz, solid wood and granite & marble, and people most frequently call us about a damaged sink edge and chipped corners.
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
What it costs in the Scottish Borders
Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Around Galashiels
Typical jobs here are in homes near Galashiels, Public House and Galashiels Academy and the streets around them. Galashiels has its own railway station: Galashiels station. Well-known places in the area include Borders General Hospital (2.7 miles south-east) and Castle Holydean (4.4 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Eildon Mid Hill.
Repairing versus replacing
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place.
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- How your room will be protected
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Severe heat marks in quartz
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Use a chopping board
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
the Scottish Borders questions
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes, often. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work in the Scottish Borders?
We do. Technicians travel to the Scottish Borders from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
