Choosing a repair company

About our worktop repair in Thorney

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We regularly repair laminate, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are cuts and scratches in the surface and a heat mark or burn.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

For anyone letting property in or around Thorney, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Thorney. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Quartz
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Granite & marble

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Questions from Thorney

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
