Worktop repair for Rousdon homes

Worktop repair in Rousdon without replacing anything

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. We regularly repair quartz, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage in a new kitchen and scratches and knife marks.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them 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.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Use a chopping board
  • Clean spills right away

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common questions in Rousdon

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you cover the whole of Dorset?

We cover the entire UK, including Rousdon and the rest of Dorset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you come to Rousdon?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Rousdon and the rest of Dorset. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

10 questions to ask before booking

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
