Worktop repair in Portesham without replacing anything
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Whether it’s chips on edges and corners and chips in quartz or granite, we can normally put it right, on quartz, granite & marble and solid wood alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Portesham and across Dorset.

Advice
Do you need worktop repair in Portesham?
The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Burns from hot pans
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Knife marks
- Dents and gouges

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep wood oiled
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Do not let water sit on joints
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
Common questions in Portesham
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Portesham included. Travel is included in the price.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Portesham use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
