Worktop repair in Upperthorpe without replacing anything

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We’re often asked to fix scorch marks from pans and scratches and knife marks, across solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and laminate.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Can I fix it myself?

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

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Repairing versus replacing in Upperthorpe

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of 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.

What affects the price in Upperthorpe

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

Choosing a repair company

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Upperthorpe questions

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Do you cover the whole of Sheffield?

Across the UK, so Upperthorpe is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
