Worktop repair in Upgate Street without replacing anything

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Whether it’s damage to a stone worktop and chips on edges and corners, we can generally put it right.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Upgate Street: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Norfolk.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

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

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Does someone need to be in?

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Use a chopping board
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

When to call us in Upgate Street

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A chipped edge
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Damage from fitting or building work

Before booking anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

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

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
