How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Your questions about worktop repair in Highweek

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Highweek. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TQ12 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

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

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in Highweek

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Dents and gouges
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • A heat mark or burn

Repairing versus replacing in Highweek

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
