How we handle worktop repair in Dunragit
A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Our technicians work on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and common reasons people get in touch are knife marks and a heat mark or burn.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Dunragit. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Questions from Dunragit
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.
- 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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
