FAQs for West Clifton

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How we handle worktop repair in West Clifton

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. We work on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and people most often call us about a dent from a dropped pan and chipped corners.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work 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 assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

What we are called out for in West Clifton

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Gouges in the surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including West Clifton. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

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