Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

- Severe heat marks in quartz

Materials we repair
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
What affects the price in Thorington Street
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

Why repair rather than replace?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
