About our worktop repair in Thornton

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. We work on laminate, quartz and granite & marble, and common reasons people contact us are chips near the sink and knife marks.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Your questions about worktop repair in Thornton

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Thornton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Repair or replace in Thornton?

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Thornton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A fixed quote before you book

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • A chipped edge
  • Scratches and knife marks

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
