How we handle worktop repair in Horton Heath

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: 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. Typical jobs include chips caused during installation and damage around the sink cut-out, on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and laminate.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Horton Heath and across Dorset.

Common problems we fix in Horton Heath

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips often start there.

Look out for these signs:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chips near the sink
  • Chipped corners

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Repairs by material

Wood

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

Solid surface

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

For landlords and businesses

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. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Horton Heath questions

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
