What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Common questions in Balgay
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you cover Balgay?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Balgay from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Clean spills immediately
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon 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.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Balgay. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairs by material
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
