DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Ellington Thorpe questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you come to Ellington Thorpe?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ellington Thorpe. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cambridgeshire.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Should you replace it?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
