Worktop repair near Cranborne

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 to match the sheen.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Worktop repair at your home in Cranborne

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Common call-outs are for gouges in the surface and knife marks, on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. 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 pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Cranborne clients choose us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Cranborne questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

When to call us in Cranborne

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that is where cracks frequently begin.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Chipped corners

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Get a quote

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
