Your questions about worktop repair in Thornford

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Thornford and the rest of Dorset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Never put hot pans down directly

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.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Should you replace it?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why Thornford customers choose us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page.

Honest limits

We’d 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
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price
