Worktop repair in Dornie without replacing anything
Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Whether it’s chips in quartz or granite and snagging damage in a new kitchen, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean spills right away
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Repairing versus replacing in Dornie
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Dornie. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Dornie: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What else we do in Dornie
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A top that moves on its units
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
Common problems we fix in Dornie
The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Scorch marks from pans
- Chips on edges and corners
- Chips caused during installation
- Chips near the sink
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to care for the finish
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
