Worktop repair in Smailholm, done in place
Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. We’re frequently asked to fix chips near the sink and chips caused during installation, across solid wood, granite & marble and laminate.

Smailholm questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of the Scottish Borders. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Smailholm?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you come to Smailholm?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Smailholm and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
What information do you need?

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Signs you need worktop repair in Smailholm
Most chips are on edges and corners, normally from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips on edges and corners
- Dents and gouges
- A damaged sink edge
- Scratches and knife marks
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Aftercare advice
Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
What affects the price in Smailholm
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
If you manage property in Smailholm, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Clean spills immediately
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Keep joints and edges dry
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
