Worktop repair near Upton

Worktop repair in Upton without replacing anything

We repair worktops in place, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We’re often asked to fix scorch marks from pans and damage around the sink cut-out, in quartz, granite & marble and solid wood.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  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. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Upton, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

Common questions in Upton

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

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?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Greater London.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Laminate

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

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
