About our worktop repair in Dowles
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. We regularly repair quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and the jobs we see most are damage around the sink cut-out and cuts and scratches in the surface.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Repair or replace in Dowles?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, 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.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Use a chopping board
- Keep wood oiled
- Keep joints and edges dry
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
If you are in Dowles and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Dowles questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you work in Dowles?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Dowles and the rest of Worcestershire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Worcestershire.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Dowles
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Laminate
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
