Worktop repair in Thurnham without replacing anything

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Common call-outs are for chipped corners and chips caused during installation, in quartz, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian).

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Thurnham. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

FAQs for Thurnham

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Typically. A picture lets us check what’s possible.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Thurnham.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Use a chopping board

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

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

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

10 questions to ask before booking

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Quartz
  • Laminate
  • Solid wood
  • Granite & marble

Should you replace it?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
