Repairing versus replacing in Tingrith
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, 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. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we handle worktop repair in Tingrith
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Common call-outs are for a chipped edge and a chipped quartz edge, in solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
