DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What affects the price in Thurcaston
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
FAQs for Thurcaston
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Can you match granite flecks?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When to call us in Thurcaston
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Burns from hot pans
- Chips caused during installation
- Gouges in the surface
- Chipped corners

- How long it needs to cure

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thurcaston as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
