How we handle worktop repair in Selkirk
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We regularly repair granite & marble, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most often call us about cuts and scratches in the surface and damage around the sink cut-out.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Scottish Borders.

Repairing versus replacing in Selkirk
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Selkirk customers choose us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One price list for the whole UK
- Everything repaired in place

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep wood oiled
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
