Before and after: damaged granite tiles repaired in place

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

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

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Thornliebank

A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the entire UK

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thornliebank

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Common problems we fix in Thornliebank

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that’s where cracks often begin.

Common reasons people in Thornliebank contact us are:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • Knife marks
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Damage to a stone worktop

Thornliebank questions

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you cover Thornliebank?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Thornliebank and the rest of Glasgow. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is my repair covered?

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

How soon can you come?

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
