When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A top that moves on its units

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Questions from Horncastle

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Normally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you cover the whole of Lincolnshire?

All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only around the repair. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

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

Granite and stone

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
