About our worktop repair in West Thirston
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We work on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners and a damaged sink edge.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep wood oiled
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Clean spills immediately
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
Common problems we fix in West Thirston
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire worktop

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own.
