When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Severe heat marks in quartz
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Laminate
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Clay Cross
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clay Cross use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Clay Cross
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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 with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Common questions in Clay Cross
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are there extra charges for Clay Cross?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
