DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
Worktop repair in Thornes without replacing anything
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. We are frequently asked to fix a damaged sink edge and chips in quartz or granite, across quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What else we do in Thornes
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Thornes questions
Do you come to Thornes?
We do. Technicians travel to Thornes from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Repair or replace in Thornes?
A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
