How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Thornton. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What we are called out for in Thornton
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damage from fitting or building work
- Scorch marks from pans
- Scratches and knife marks
- Damage to a stone worktop

- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.
Landlord and trade work in Thornton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common questions in Thornton
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How much does worktop repair cost in Thornton?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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 will not last.
