Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Use a chopping board
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Keep joints and edges dry
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Questions from Highertown
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can landlords book you?

I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Only around the repair. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
When to call us in Highertown
Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, and that is where cracks frequently begin.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage from fitting or building work
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Chipped corners
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price covers travel
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Highertown. What changes the price is:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Natural light rather than flash
If you are in Highertown and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
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. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
