We regularly repair solid wood, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are a dent from a dropped pan and snagging damage in a new kitchen.

What affects the price in Uplands
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
FAQs for Uplands
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you match granite flecks?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A top that moves on its units
- Discolouration deep in quartz
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Uplands
A new 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. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
