What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take 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. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repairing versus replacing in Thornton

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Thornton questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes, often. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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