Worktop repair near West Thorney

Can I fix it myself?

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 usually cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we handle worktop repair in West Thorney

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We’re often asked to fix burns from hot pans and a chipped quartz edge, across solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

West Thorney questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Landlord and trade work in West Thorney

If you manage property in West Thorney, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Failed support under the worktop

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

Surfaces we repair

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