Worktop repair in Balham without replacing anything
A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Whether it’s knife marks and scorch marks from pans, we can typically put it right, on laminate, solid wood and quartz alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Balham as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Your questions about worktop repair in Balham
Do you work in Balham?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Balham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
In most cases. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Balham.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One visit for most repairs
See our pricing.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
