What affects the price in Thurston Planche
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Thurston Planche. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
If you are in Thurston Planche and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why us?

- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Dry around the sink and joints
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A top that moves on its units
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
