Whether it’s gouges in the surface and a chipped edge, we can normally put it right, on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and granite & marble alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Balloch as everywhere else we work.

Balloch questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Balloch, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Balloch?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

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

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
