Worktop repair at your home in Ballards Gore
A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. We work on granite & marble, laminate and quartz, and common reasons people contact us are scratches and knife marks and dents and gouges.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Water-swollen laminate
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, 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.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
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.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
