How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Lintz: your questions answered

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
