Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Use chopping boards and trivets, 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.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No need to remove anything
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

FAQs for Thorney Hill

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Are there extra charges for Thorney Hill?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What affects the price in Thorney Hill

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Thorney Hill. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
