How we handle worktop repair in Clayton

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. We regularly repair quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are chips near the sink and knife marks.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Clayton

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Chips near the sink

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Clayton

For anyone letting property in or around Clayton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clayton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Clayton: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Clayton.

Do you cover the whole of West Sussex?

The entire UK, including all of West Sussex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

In most cases. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you what’s possible.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only around the repair. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Repairing versus replacing in Clayton

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Most clients in Clayton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

What affects the price in Clayton

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

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

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you’re in Clayton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
