Worktop repair in Thornicombe, done in place
Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We regularly repair quartz, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most often call us about gouges in the surface and a chipped edge.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Thornicombe questions
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.

Before we arrive

What else we do in Thornicombe
What affects the price in Thornicombe
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Common problems we fix in Thornicombe
Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, and that is where cracks frequently begin.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A dent from a dropped pan
- A chipped quartz edge
- Chipped corners
- Damage from fitting or building work
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
