Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Clean spills right away

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Highfield

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Highfield

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

In most cases. A picture lets us check.

Do you cover Highfield?

We do. Technicians travel to Highfield from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

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

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Highfield as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
