About our worktop repair in Dorchester
The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. Typical jobs include chips caused during installation and a heat mark or burn, across granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Wood

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Use a chopping board
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Landlord and trade work in Dorchester
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Questions from Dorchester
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Are there extra charges for Dorchester?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
