Damaged worktop in Upwood? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips near the sink
- Dents and gouges
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Worktop repair in Upwood without replacing anything
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Whether it’s damage to a stone worktop and chips on edges and corners, we can normally put it right, on laminate, solid wood and quartz alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire.

Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Do you cover Upwood?

Repairing versus replacing in Upwood
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. 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. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by checking 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 match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
For a price in Upwood, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
