Worktop repair in Clifton without replacing anything

We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We’re frequently asked to fix scratches and knife marks and gouges in the surface, on granite & marble, laminate and quartz.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Questions from Clifton

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you cover Clifton?

We do. We send a technician to Clifton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Choosing a repair company

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. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repair or replace in Clifton?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  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. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

For a price in Clifton, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 pictures.

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.
