  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • A chipped edge
  • Scorch marks from pans

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Highleigh

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Questions from Highleigh

How much does worktop repair cost in Highleigh?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your PO20 postcode.

Do you cover the whole of West Sussex?

We cover the entire UK, including Highleigh and the rest of West Sussex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Highleigh.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Do not leave spills to soak in

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Quartz
  • Laminate
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid wood

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repairing versus replacing in Highleigh

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Take a look at our prices page.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
