Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Keep joints and edges dry
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole worktop
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CA28 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is generally far better value. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Also in Lowca
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Common questions in Lowca
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Discolouration deep in quartz
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Common problems we fix in Lowca
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A heat mark or burn
- Dents and gouges
- Damage from fitting or building work
- A damaged sink edge
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
