Peebles: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Peebles.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you cover Peebles?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Peebles. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean spills straight away
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep joints and edges dry
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Failed support under the worktop
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Solid wood

- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
