How we handle worktop repair in Dobcross
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We regularly repair solid wood, quartz and granite & marble, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches and knife marks and a dent from a dropped pan.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Dobcross and across Oldham.

When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A top that moves on its units
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Repairing versus replacing in Dobcross

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole worktop
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Dobcross, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Don’t let water sit on joints
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around 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.
