Lingwood: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?

We cover the whole UK, including Lingwood and the rest of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

How we handle worktop repair in Lingwood

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Our technicians work on laminate, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most often call us about damage around the sink cut-out and cuts and scratches in the surface.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lingwood as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, 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 the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NR13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Signs you need worktop repair in Lingwood

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that is where cracks frequently begin.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Burns from hot pans
