About our worktop repair in Ferndown

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 repair technicians work on granite & marble, quartz and laminate, and the jobs we see most are burns from hot pans and dents and gouges.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to compare quotes

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Ferndown

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

FAQs for Ferndown

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Generally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
