About our worktop repair in Thorncross

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. Typical jobs include dents and gouges and a chipped edge, in solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thorncross use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should you replace it?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. 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 will get a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Questions from Thorncross

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only around the repair. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Do you cover the whole of Isle of Wight?

Across the UK, so Thorncross is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Typically. A picture lets us check.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
