Worktop repair in Clifton

Worktop repair at your home in Clifton

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Typical jobs include scorch marks from pans and chips caused during installation, across solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian).

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Landlord and trade work in Clifton

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Repair or replace in Clifton?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Clifton clients choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Take a look at our full price list.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Questions from Clifton

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

What affects the price in Clifton

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
