Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Re-oil timber worktops

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

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Higher Wincham: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you come to Higher Wincham?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Higher Wincham and the rest of Cheshire West and Chester. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Get a quote

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CW9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cheshire West and Chester and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
