Worktop repair at your home in Upton
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Our repair technicians work on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and people most frequently call us about chips near the sink and chipped corners.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep wood oiled
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
FAQs for Upton
Are there extra charges for Upton?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
