Worktop repair in Sherborne St John without replacing anything
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. We work on laminate, granite & marble and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners and snagging damage in a new kitchen.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sherborne St John. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Questions from Sherborne St John
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How much do I need to move?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Typically. A picture lets us check what’s possible.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Use a chopping board
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
