Need worktop repair in Gutch Common?

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Worktop repair in Gutch Common, done in place

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Our technicians work on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are scorch marks from pans and cuts and scratches in the surface.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Gutch Common. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Gutch Common customers choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common questions in Gutch Common

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dorset.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

The entire UK, including all of Dorset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
