Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Questions from Clay Common

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Do you cover Clay Common?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Clay Common for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Clay Common?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Repairing versus replacing in Clay Common

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Clay Common

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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