What affects the price in Oborne
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
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 we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Worktop repair in Oborne, done in place
A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. We regularly repair solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and people most often call us about a heat mark or burn and knife marks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Oborne
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Never put hot pans down directly
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Common problems we fix in Oborne
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips often start there.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A chipped edge
- Gouges in the surface
- A damaged sink edge
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
FAQs for Oborne

How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair several things at once?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
