Worktop repair at your home in Galashiels
A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Typical jobs include burns from hot pans and chips on edges and corners, across laminate, solid wood and granite & marble.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Galashiels and across the Scottish Borders.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
When to call us in Galashiels
The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chipped corners
- Knife marks
- A damaged sink edge
- A chipped quartz edge

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Common questions in Galashiels
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your TD1 postcode.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Wipe up spills quickly
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
Landlord and trade work in Galashiels
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Galashiels use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What affects the price in Galashiels
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
