- A chipped edge
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Worktop repair in Baltasound, done in place
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Common call-outs are for a damaged sink edge and cuts and scratches in the surface, across granite & marble, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian).
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- 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

Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Baltasound: your questions answered
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How much do I need to move?
Only around the repair. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
