Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

FAQs for Upton
How much does worktop repair cost in Upton?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your DN21 postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Water-swollen laminate
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Laminate
