FAQs for Dunkirk

Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How much does worktop repair cost in Dunkirk?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
Are you a vetted contractor?

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Dry around the sink and joints
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A top that moves on its units
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Severe heat marks in quartz

Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
