Repairing versus replacing in Thorpe Common
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What your worktop is made of matters

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Thorpe Common. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Thorpe Common
Are there extra charges for Thorpe Common?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
