DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Clean spills straight away

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Solid wood
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Laminate
  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Dowlish Ford questions

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

In most cases. A picture lets us check.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
