Landlords, agents and businesses in Scottish Borders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common questions in Scottish Borders

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Scottish Borders. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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

Do you need worktop repair in Scottish Borders?

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Dents and gouges

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why Scottish Borders clients choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Granite & marble
  • Laminate
  • Solid wood
