Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Higham Hill. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How it works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Your questions about worktop repair in Higham Hill
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Generally. A photo lets us check.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Repairing versus replacing in Higham Hill
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
