Worktop repair in Thornwood Common without replacing anything
We repair worktops in place, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Our technicians work on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage in a new kitchen and damage to a stone worktop.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Advice
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Thornwood Common. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs 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 photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean spills straight away
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Use a chopping board
- Do not knock pans against the edge
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Thornwood Common, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repair or replace in Thornwood Common?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thornwood Common. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
