For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Bale, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Most customers in Bale get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What else we do in Bale
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Bale, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Use a chopping board
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- A top that moves on its units
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Your questions about worktop repair in Bale
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How much do I need to move?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Do you come to Bale?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bale and the rest of Norfolk. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you match granite flecks?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire worktop and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
All of Norfolk, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
