About our worktop repair in Lower Dicker
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and laminate, and people most often call us about chips on edges and corners and scorch marks from pans.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Use a chopping board
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Keep wood oiled
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Lower Dicker. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once

- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Lower Dicker questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
