FAQs for Thornthwaite
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you come to Thornthwaite?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Thornthwaite and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Usually. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
What we’re called out for in Thornthwaite
Edges and corners chip most frequently, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- A damaged sink edge
- Chipped corners
- Burns from hot pans

- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Keep wood oiled
- Use a chopping board
- Dry around the sink and joints
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Water-swollen laminate
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire worktop
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repairing versus replacing in Thornthwaite
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thornthwaite. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
