How we handle worktop repair in Thrupe
You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. We regularly repair quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and common reasons people contact us are damage around the sink cut-out and scorch marks from pans.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Signs you need worktop repair in Thrupe

- Dents and gouges

Thrupe questions
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean spills right away
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Thrupe. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace in Thrupe?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
