Questions from Lanivet

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

In most cases. A photo lets us check what’s possible.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Lanivet included. Travel is included in the price.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Lanivet.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lanivet. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Should you replace it?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Lanivet clients choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Use a chopping board
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

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

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, 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. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Water-swollen laminate
