Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Worktop repair in Upper Sanday, done in place
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Our repair technicians work on quartz, granite & marble and laminate, and people most often call us about damage to a stone worktop and chips near the sink.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Sanday use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Orkney Islands and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
FAQs for Upper Sanday
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Generally. A photo lets us check what’s possible.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Water-swollen laminate
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- A top that moves on its units
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)

What we are called out for in Upper Sanday
Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips frequently start there.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips near the sink
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Scratches and knife marks
- A heat mark or burn
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean spills right away
- Keep wood oiled
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
