Before and after: damaged granite tiles repaired in place

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Signs you need worktop repair in Thornhill

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Chips caused during installation

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thornhill

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

FAQs for Thornhill

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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.

Do you cover Thornhill?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Thornhill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?

We cover the entire UK, including Thornhill and the rest of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
