Common questions in Thornham Magna

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Repairs by material

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Use a chopping board
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Common problems we fix in Thornham Magna

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Chipped corners
  • A damaged sink edge

10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour-matched on site

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Thornham Magna. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

Most clients in Thornham Magna get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
