Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When to call us in Thornton-le-Dale

Edges and corners chip most often, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Dents and gouges
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Chipped corners
  • Burns from hot pans

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Common questions in Thornton-le-Dale

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Thornton-le-Dale?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

In most cases. Send us a picture and we will tell you what’s possible.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Thornton-le-Dale included. Travel is included in the price.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Re-oil timber worktops

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

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Water-swollen laminate

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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