Your questions about worktop repair in Highstreet

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Are there extra charges for Highstreet?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Solid wood
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

  • Knife marks

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Highstreet

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Should you replace it?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Highstreet. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
