About our worktop repair in Balladen

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. If you’re dealing with chips caused during installation and a chipped edge, we can help, on granite & marble, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Should you replace it?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Do you need worktop repair in Balladen?

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips often start there.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • Knife marks
  • A damaged sink edge
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Dents and gouges

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
