FAQs for Highfield
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Advice
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Highfield. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean spills straight away
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
