Book worktop repair in Thorpe Larches

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

Worktop repair in Thorpe Larches, done in place

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Typical jobs include scorch marks from pans and damage to a stone worktop, in quartz, solid wood and laminate.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Advice

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Questions from Thorpe Larches

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
