What affects the price in Higher Dimson

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Higher Dimson. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Worktop repair in Higher Dimson, done in place

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We’re often asked to fix chips on edges and corners and dents and gouges, on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and granite & marble.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Higher Dimson

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Repairing versus replacing in Higher Dimson

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Take a look at our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Re-oil timber worktops

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

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Higher Dimson use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  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. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
