Other services in Great Clifton
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Clifton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Keep wood oiled
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
