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.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Worktop repair in Charlton Marshall, done in place

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and quartz, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners and dents and gouges.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

Charlton Marshall questions

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Charlton Marshall and the rest of Dorset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Charlton Marshall. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop

Most customers in Charlton Marshall get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Use a chopping board
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Should you replace it?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. 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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
