About our worktop repair in Upperton
A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Common call-outs are for snagging damage in a new kitchen and dents and gouges, in quartz, laminate and granite & marble.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Re-oil timber worktops
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Upperton questions
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes, frequently. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Upperton.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry

What affects the price in Upperton
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Should you replace it?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
