Trusted worktop repair in Thatcham

Worktop repair at your home in Thatcham

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Our technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and quartz, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage in a new kitchen and cuts and scratches in the surface.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

10 questions to ask before you book

Thatcham questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you come to Thatcham?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Thatcham and the rest of West Berkshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Generally. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you.

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire worktop

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

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

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
