How we handle worktop repair in Clouston

Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. We regularly repair granite & marble, solid wood and quartz, and people most frequently call us about damage from fitting or building work and chips near the sink.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairing versus replacing in Clouston

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Read our prices page.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging 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 to keep costs down.

If you manage property in Clouston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Clean spills immediately

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

What we’re called out for in Clouston

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • A chipped edge
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Scorch marks from pans

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How to care for the finish
  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure 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.
