How to compare quotes

Worktop repair at your home in Thornton

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. We regularly repair quartz, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most often call us about snagging damage in a new kitchen and chips near the sink.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Thornton

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

What affects the price in Thornton

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Your questions about worktop repair in Thornton

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Normally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you come to Thornton?

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

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Why repair rather than replace?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Thornton clients choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our prices page.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

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

Landlord and trade work in Thornton

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lancashire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
