How we handle worktop repair in Far Thrupp

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. Common call-outs are for a chipped edge and chips near the sink, on solid wood, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian).

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Far Thrupp: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Normally. A picture lets us check what’s possible.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
