What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Signs you need worktop repair in Waterditch

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Knife marks
  • Chipped corners
  • A heat mark or burn

Before you book anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

What we do, step by step

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Your questions about worktop repair in Waterditch

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Waterditch included. Travel is included in the price.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
