Worktop repair in Lizard

Worktop repair in Lizard, done in place

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. Our technicians work on laminate, quartz and solid wood, and people most often call us about snagging damage in a new kitchen and chips on edges and corners.

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

Speckled stone tiles with chips repaired to match the pattern

Lizard: your questions answered

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lizard

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lizard as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Signs you need worktop repair in Lizard

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that’s where cracks often begin.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • A damaged sink edge
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Chipped corners

Questions to ask before booking

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

What affects the price in Lizard

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Lizard. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
