Before and after: damaged granite tiles repaired in place

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Clifton

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Clifton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Clifton

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Common questions in Clifton

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you work in Clifton?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What we are called out for in Clifton

The worst damage frequently 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.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A chipped edge
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
