Worktop repair at your home in Highcliffe

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Highcliffe. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

FAQs for Highcliffe

Do you cover Highcliffe?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Highcliffe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Highcliffe and the rest of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

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.

What we are called out for in Highcliffe

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Gouges in the surface
  • A chipped edge

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Laminate

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairing versus replacing in Highcliffe

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
