Worktop repair at your home in Symondsbury
You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. We’re often asked to fix dents and gouges and damage from fitting or building work, on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and quartz.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Symondsbury and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Symondsbury questions
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
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.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Do not leave spills to soak in
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
