Worktop Repair in Thorney Close
We travel to Thorney Close for chip, burn and scratch repairs to kitchen and bathroom worktops. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from fitting or building work
- Gouges in the surface
What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
Worktop repair at your home in Thorney Close
Laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and wooden worktops can all be repaired, matching the colour and pattern by hand. The worktop stays in place. We regularly repair quartz, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most frequently call us about cuts and scratches in the surface and gouges in the surface.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Use a chopping board
- Keep joints and edges dry
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Should you replace it?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colour-matched on site

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Questions from Thorney Close
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
