About our worktop repair in Higher End

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. If you’re dealing with chips caused during installation and chipped corners, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Higher End. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Clean spills right away
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Use a chopping board

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wigan and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common questions in Higher End

How much does worktop repair cost in Higher End?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Higher End included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

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

Related advice

Should you replace it?

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. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Higher End. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
