About our worktop repair in Thorpe by Water

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. We are frequently asked to fix chipped corners and damage around the sink cut-out, in solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and granite & marble.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LE15 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Use a chopping board
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thorpe by Water

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Thorpe by Water. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Granite and stone

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

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
