About our worktop repair in Thurning

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. Our repair technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new kitchen and knife marks.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

  • A damaged sink edge

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Scratches and knife marks

How to compare quotes

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions from Thurning

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Normally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you work in Thurning?

We do. We send a technician to Thurning for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Do not knock pans against the edge

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
