Questions from Thornsett

Do you cover Thornsett?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Thornsett for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only around the repair. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Thornsett?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

In most cases. A picture lets us check.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

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

Granite and stone

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Thornsett

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Thornsett. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Thornsett

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Use a chopping board

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

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