Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

FAQs for Blackwater
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Do you cover Blackwater?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Blackwater. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes, frequently. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Usually. A photo lets us check.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Use a chopping board
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
