How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why Higham customers choose us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Higham. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Clean spills straight away

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
