Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 generally cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Read our pricing.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Clifton, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Granite and stone

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

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Clifton

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • A damaged sink edge
  • A chipped quartz edge

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How to care for the finish

Our hiring checklist

Clifton questions

Are there extra charges for Clifton?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Do you work in Clifton?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Clifton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
