Worktop repair in Highgate

What affects the price in Highgate

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you are in Highgate and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How we handle worktop repair in Highgate

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Typical jobs include knife marks and a dent from a dropped pan, in solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian).

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Highgate

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in Highgate, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to compare quotes

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Quartz

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