How we handle worktop repair in Upper Loads
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and quartz, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage in a new kitchen and a chipped quartz edge.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Should you replace it?
A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Upper Loads
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Upper Loads, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When to call us in Upper Loads
The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Chips caused during installation
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Scorch marks from pans
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
- Aftercare advice
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
