About our worktop repair in Ubbeston
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Our repair technicians work on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and people most frequently call us about a damaged sink edge and scorch marks from pans.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Ubbeston
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP19 postcode.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP19 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What else we do in Ubbeston
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ubbeston as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Use a chopping board
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
