Your questions about worktop repair in Lidgate
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Lidgate?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Are there extra charges for Lidgate?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What areas do you cover?
All of Cambridgeshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Landlord and trade work in Lidgate
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Lidgate, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Water-swollen laminate
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A top that moves on its units
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Common problems we fix in Lidgate
Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, and that is where cracks often begin.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage from fitting or building work
- Scorch marks from pans
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Chips in quartz or granite
Before you book anyone
- What prep work is covered
- How the colour is matched
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Repair or replace: which is better?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a chopping board
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Keep wood oiled
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
