Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

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

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Honest limits

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

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Water-swollen laminate

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

Higher Halsway: your questions answered

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Do you come to Higher Halsway?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Higher Halsway. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Higher Halsway. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TA4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Do not knock pans against the edge

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
