Worktop repair in Dartmouth without replacing anything

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: 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. We work on quartz, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are damage to a stone worktop and chipped corners.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Dartmouth clients choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

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

Solid surface

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dartmouth

For anyone letting property in or around Dartmouth, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in Dartmouth

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips frequently start there.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Chips on edges and corners

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Solid wood
  • Laminate
  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
