What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Should you replace it?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your HP16 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Ballinger Common questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

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