DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Edges and corners chip most often, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep wood oiled

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

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. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dunsley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
