Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
What we are called out for in Melbury Sampford
The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
Look out for any of the following:
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Chipped corners
- Knife marks
- Burns from hot pans

FAQs for Melbury Sampford
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dorset.
