DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Haigh: your questions answered

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do you charge for travel?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

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

Materials we work on in Haigh

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

When to call us in Haigh

Edges and corners chip most often, often when something heavy catches the edge.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • A heat mark or burn
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • When it can be used again
  • How the colour is matched
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
