Thorn: your questions answered
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
Do you cover the entire of Central Bedfordshire?
All of Central Bedfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
In most cases. A picture lets us check what’s possible.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Use a chopping board
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Re-oil timber worktops
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Why repair rather than replace?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs 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 price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most clients in Thorn get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LU5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
