Hello, I’m Gheorghe Catalin Balan
I take great pride in being a repair technician with over 9 years of experience. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working on some of the most prestigious and iconic buildings in London — as a French polisher and repair technician specialising in hard surfaces.
Over the years, I have developed a deep understanding of repairing various surfaces — whether it’s granite, marble, steel, brick, stone, wood, furniture, laminate flooring, ceramic tile, or any other hard surface. I approach each project with meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to bringing out the natural beauty of the materials.
My team and I specialise in bathroom and sink repairs, window frame restorations, worktop refinishing, kitchen unit maintenance, and door repairs — addressing every challenge effectively and efficiently.
