Worktop repair at your home in Dores
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Common call-outs are for a dent from a dropped pan and chips in quartz or granite, across solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and quartz.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire worktop
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- A top that moves on its units
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Quartz
When to call us in Dores
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- A damaged sink edge
- Knife marks
- A chipped quartz edge
- Scorch marks from pans

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep wood oiled
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Keep joints and edges dry
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Your questions about worktop repair in Dores
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dores. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
