Common questions in Unthank
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?
All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are there extra charges for Unthank?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Worktop repair in Unthank, done in place
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Typical jobs include chips on edges and corners and damage to a stone worktop, on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Clean spills straight away
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
When to call us in Unthank
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips near the sink
- Dents and gouges
- A chipped edge
- Chips in quartz or granite

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CA10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
What affects the price in Unthank
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
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, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Unthank. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Unthank
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
