Worktop repair at your home in Clifton
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We regularly repair quartz, granite & marble and laminate, and the jobs we see most are gouges in the surface and cuts and scratches in the surface.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Repairing versus replacing in Clifton
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Clifton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Keep wood oiled
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
How to prepare

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A top that moves on its units
- Water-swollen laminate
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Laminate
