Repair or replace in Charminster?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Why us?
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One visit for most repairs
- A fixed quote before booking
- We leave the room as we found it

Worktop repair in Charminster without replacing anything
Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Typical jobs include a damaged sink edge and snagging damage in a new kitchen, in laminate, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian).
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Charminster as everywhere else we work.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
What affects the price in Charminster

- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode

- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in Charminster get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A top that moves on its units
