About Preston
Preston is about 13 miles west of Berwick-upon-Tweed, in the Scottish Borders. We agree a date that works for you, and you’ll know when to expect us, so you’re not left waiting in all day. Preston is one of 89 towns and villages in the Scottish Borders where we work. We work right across the region, from Preston to Edinburgh (35 miles away).
Our technicians cover all of the TD11 postcode area. Neighbouring places we cover include Duns (2 miles south), Clockmill (3 miles south-west), Gavinton (3 miles south-west), Chirnside (5 miles east) and Grantshouse (5 miles north).

Landlords, agents and businesses in Preston
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Scottish Borders and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Preston use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Your questions about worktop repair in Preston
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
Do you cover Preston?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Preston from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you match granite flecks?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you cover the whole of the Scottish Borders?
All of the Scottish Borders, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
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.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Never put hot pans down directly
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
