Your questions about worktop repair in Upper Upnor

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Upper Upnor?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ME2 postcode.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

In most cases. Send us a photo and we will tell you what’s possible.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Upper Upnor

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
