Landlords, agents and businesses in Thickholme

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Worktop repair in Thickholme, done in place

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches are the most common worktop repairs. All are repaired in place. If you are dealing with scorch marks from pans and a dent from a dropped pan, we can generally put it right, on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and quartz alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Granite and stone

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

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Thickholme. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thickholme. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

When to call us in Thickholme

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:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Chipped corners
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
