Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Wipe up spills quickly
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a 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. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thorpe Abbotts. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
