Worktop repair in Stourton Caundle, done in place

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. We’re often asked to fix damage around the sink cut-out and a dent from a dropped pan, on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and quartz.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Stourton Caundle and across Dorset.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What your worktop is made of matters

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.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For anyone letting property in or around Stourton Caundle, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Questions from Stourton Caundle

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DT10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
