Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Worktop repair at your home in Balls Green
Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We work on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and people most frequently call us about dents and gouges and damage around the sink cut-out.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Balls Green questions
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Landlord and trade work in Balls Green
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Common problems we fix in Balls Green
The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Common reasons people in Balls Green contact us are:
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- A chipped quartz edge
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Water-swollen laminate
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
