Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

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

What we work on

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

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairs by material

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Granite and stone

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

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Rochdale and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What affects the price in Thornham Fold

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Questions from Thornham Fold

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Generally. Send us a picture and we will tell you.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Do you cover Thornham Fold?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Thornham Fold from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Use a chopping board

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

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
