What we are called out for in Cerne Abbas
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips often start there.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Scorch marks from pans
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- Chipped corners
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How to care for the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Should you replace it?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Questions from Cerne Abbas
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you come to Cerne Abbas?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cerne Abbas. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Use a chopping board
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
What affects the price in Cerne Abbas
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Cerne Abbas. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you’re in Cerne Abbas and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Failed support under the worktop
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
