Repair or replace: which is better?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Questions from East Melbury
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
Everywhere in the UK, East Melbury included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A top that moves on its units
- Water-swollen laminate
- Severe heat marks in quartz
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
