Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
About our worktop repair in Innerleithen
A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. We are frequently asked to fix a heat mark or burn and chips in quartz or granite, across quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Clean spills straight away
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Innerleithen questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
