Worktop repair in Dorstone, done in place
We repair worktops in place. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are a dent from a dropped pan and damage around the sink cut-out.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Do not let water sit on joints
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
What else we do in Dorstone
Repair or replace: which is better?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dorstone. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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.

Related advice
What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Landlord and trade work in Dorstone
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
