Need worktop repair in Upper Street?

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

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.

Worktop repair in Upper Street without replacing anything

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Typical jobs include scorch marks from pans and snagging damage in a new kitchen, on granite & marble, solid wood and laminate.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Your questions about worktop repair in Upper Street

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

What affects the price in Upper Street

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most clients in Upper Street get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Solid wood
  • Laminate
  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Street use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Work done at your home or business
