Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

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

What we work on

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

Lime Kiln questions

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Are there extra charges for Lime Kiln?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Use a chopping board
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Clean spills right away

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

How the visit works

We turn 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 the room is left clean and tidy.

  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 the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Lime Kiln, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you’re in Lime Kiln and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace in Lime Kiln?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
