Lipson: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Typically, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Do you come to Lipson?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Lipson from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lipson
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lipson as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lipson. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairs by material
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 photos.
