What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Repair or replace in Thornton?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why Thornton customers choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, 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.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Thornton

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Thornton. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Thornton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire worktop

If you are in Thornton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Use a chopping board

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
