Lifford questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you come to Lifford?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Lifford and the rest of Birmingham. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
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
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your B30 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What else we do in Lifford
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace: which is better?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
