Worktop repair for Balephuil homes

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Worktop repair in Balephuil without replacing anything

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. We regularly repair granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and people most often call us about chips in quartz or granite and damage from fitting or building work.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Granite & marble
  • Quartz
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Questions from Balephuil

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you come to Balephuil?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Balephuil for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Do you cover the whole of Argyll and Bute?

All of Argyll and Bute, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
