When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

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

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Signs you need worktop repair in High Leigh

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Common reasons people in High Leigh contact us include:

  • Gouges in the surface
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Chips caused during installation

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in High Leigh

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page.

Landlords, agents and businesses in High Leigh

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job without visiting.

Advice

Questions from High Leigh

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Usually, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire worktop and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
