What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Higher Downs, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Higher Downs questions
Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Higher Downs
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Higher Downs use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Repair or replace in Higher Downs?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Don’t let water sit on joints
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
