Worktop Repair for Upper Sundon homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Sundon use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Solid wood
Repair or replace: which is better?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Keep wood oiled
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
FAQs for Upper Sundon
How much does worktop repair cost in Upper Sundon?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How much do I need to move?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Normally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
