Worktop repair in Lionel

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Worktop repair in Lionel without replacing anything

Laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and wooden worktops can all be repaired, with colour and pattern matched by hand. Nothing is taken out. We’re often asked to fix knife marks and dents and gouges, across solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and laminate.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

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

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. 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.

Do you need worktop repair in Lionel?

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • Chipped corners
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Damage to a stone worktop

Our hiring checklist

Lionel: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
