How we handle worktop repair in Fontmell Magna
Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Our repair technicians work on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are gouges in the surface and damage to a stone worktop.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Fontmell Magna questions
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover the whole of Dorset?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Fontmell Magna. Prices do not change with location.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SP7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- A top that moves on its units
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Laminate
Common problems we fix in Fontmell Magna
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips often start there.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A damaged sink edge
- A dent from a dropped pan
- A heat mark or burn
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How your room will be protected
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repairing versus replacing in Fontmell Magna
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting 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. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
