Worktop repair in Holwell, Dorset
Worktop repair in and around Holwell: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Gouges in the surface
- A chipped edge
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

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’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repair or replace in Holwell?
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.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Re-oil timber worktops
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
