How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

If you are in Upperby and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

When to call us in Upperby

Most chips are on edges and corners, typically from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Chips near the sink
  • A heat mark or burn

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

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

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

FAQs for Upperby

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Upperby?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Typically. A picture lets us check.

Do you cover Upperby?

We do. We send a technician to Upperby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
