Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Sturminster Marshall. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
If you’re in Sturminster Marshall and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can

Repairing versus replacing in Sturminster Marshall
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When to call us in Sturminster Marshall
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
Look out for any of the following:
- Knife marks
- Chips on edges and corners
- A chipped quartz edge
- A dent from a dropped pan
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
