Thriplow questions
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

For landlords and businesses
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.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A top that moves on its units
- Discolouration deep in quartz
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair

Repairs by material
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Thriplow. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, 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.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Thriplow. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
