Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Failed support under the worktop
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate

Advice
Repair or replace in Balgowan?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Questions from Balgowan
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Normally. Send us a picture and we will tell you what’s possible.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.
When to call us in Balgowan
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- Scorch marks from pans
- Chips on edges and corners
- Dents and gouges
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
