About our worktop repair in Kelso
A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Whether it’s damage to a stone worktop and a dent from a dropped pan, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kelso use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Water-swollen laminate
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Kelso
Do you cover the entire of the Scottish Borders?
Everywhere in the UK, Kelso included. There is no extra charge for travel.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Keep wood oiled
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
