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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

High Easter: your questions answered

Do you cover High Easter?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to High Easter. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes, frequently. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from photos so you do not 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, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in High Easter?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for High Easter. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why High Easter clients choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Get a quote

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
