How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Use a chopping board
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Worktop repair in Higher Broughton without replacing anything

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. If you’re dealing with chips on edges and corners and chips near the sink, we can help.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our pricing.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Higher Broughton. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

Most clients in Higher Broughton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common questions in Higher Broughton

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you cover the whole of Greater Manchester?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Higher Broughton. Prices do not change with location.

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.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
