FAQs for Thelnetham

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Are there extra charges for Thelnetham?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the price change on the day?

Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Repairing versus replacing in Thelnetham
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A top that moves on its units
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Thelnetham. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: 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 leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry

What we are called out for in Thelnetham
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A damaged sink edge
- Burns from hot pans
- Chips caused during installation
- Scratches and knife marks
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What prep work is covered
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
