Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

How we handle worktop repair in Balliveolan

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. If you’re dealing with damage around the sink cut-out and snagging damage in a new kitchen, we can generally put it right, on solid wood, granite & marble and laminate alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What we are called out for in Balliveolan

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips often start there.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Damage from fitting or building work

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Balliveolan questions

Do you repair quartz?

Yes, frequently. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Usually. A picture lets us check.

What areas do you cover?

All of Argyll and Bute, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
