Chips in speckled granite tiles filled and colour matched, before and after

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Wood

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

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean spills straight away
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Friars Cliff

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We assess 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. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Friars Cliff questions

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Friars Cliff?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
