Worktop repair in St Thomas

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

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

What we work on

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

Worktop repair in St Thomas without replacing anything

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. We work on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are scorch marks from pans and damage to a stone worktop.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in St Thomas as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Clean spills right away

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Common problems we fix in St Thomas

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips frequently start there.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

Before booking anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again
  • How the room is protected while they work

Questions from St Thomas

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Typically. A photo lets us check.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in St Thomas?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

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

Is there a guarantee?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What affects the price in St Thomas

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for St Thomas. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should you replace it?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
