How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
More services for Higherford
Your questions about worktop repair in Higherford
Do you work in Higherford?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Higherford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Lancashire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Keep wood oiled
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
