How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep wood oiled

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

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Solid surface

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

Work for landlords and builders

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

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Hightown

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only around the repair. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What we’re called out for in Hightown

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Chips near the sink
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Dents and gouges

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hightown. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
