When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  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. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Use a chopping board
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Common questions in Thorley Street

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you come to Thorley Street?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Thorley Street for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Thorley Street?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CM23 postcode.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire worktop and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
