Worktop repair near Upper Race

Worktop repair at your home in Upper Race

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Common call-outs are for chips near the sink and chips on edges and corners, on granite & marble, laminate and quartz.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Race use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

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

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
