Worktop repair in Thrimby

Worktop repair in Thrimby, done in place

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Typical jobs include damage around the sink cut-out and chips on edges and corners, in quartz, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian).

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repairs by material

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Common questions in Thrimby

Are there extra charges for Thrimby?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Repair or replace in Thrimby?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
