How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Clean spills right away
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

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

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Winterborne Zelston

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should you replace it?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Winterborne Zelston

  • Quartz
  • Laminate
  • Granite & marble

  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

Winterborne Zelston: your questions answered

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DT11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
