How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Common questions in Thornhill

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you cover the whole of Kirklees?

The whole UK, including all of Kirklees. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thornhill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add 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.

Our hiring checklist

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Thornhill. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
