Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Clean spills immediately

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

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

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Lelant

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Common problems we fix in Lelant

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

Before you book anyone

  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price

Lelant questions

Are there extra charges for Lelant?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you come to Lelant?

We do. Technicians travel to Lelant from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
