Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Repairing versus replacing in Ballifeary

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What affects the price in Ballifeary

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Ballifeary. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Your questions about worktop repair in Ballifeary

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Generally. A picture lets us check.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
