Worktop repair near Thornton

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

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

Materials we repair

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

About our worktop repair in Thornton

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. If you are dealing with a heat mark or burn and a dent from a dropped pan, we can usually put it right, on granite & marble, quartz and laminate alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should you replace it?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Clean spills right away
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Keep wood oiled

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price
