Worktop repair in Clate, done in place
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We work on quartz, solid wood and granite & marble, and people most often call us about damage around the sink cut-out and scratches and knife marks.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean spills immediately
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Use a chopping board
- Never put hot pans down directly
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Severe heat marks in quartz
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can give you a fixed price.
What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
What we are called out for in Clate
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Gouges in the surface
- Chipped corners
- Scratches and knife marks
- Chips near the sink
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
What else we do in Clate
Common questions in Clate
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How much do I need to move?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
