Worktop repair in Great Thurlow

Worktop repair at your home in Great Thurlow

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Common call-outs are for scorch marks from pans and chips caused during installation, across quartz, laminate and solid wood.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Great Thurlow and across Suffolk.

Your questions about worktop repair in Great Thurlow

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Usually, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

When to call us in Great Thurlow

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • A chipped edge
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • A damaged sink edge

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlord and trade work in Great Thurlow

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Thurlow as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Great Thurlow, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
