How we handle worktop repair in Townsend
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. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Our technicians work on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from fitting or building work and scratches and knife marks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Common problems we fix in Townsend
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damage to a stone worktop
- A chipped edge
- Chips near the sink
- Chips caused during installation
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Questions from Townsend
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you cover the whole of Dorset?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
Repairing versus replacing in Townsend
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
Why book with us

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
