Worktop repair for Lumb homes

Worktop repair at your home in Lumb

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Common call-outs are for damage around the sink cut-out and chips on edges and corners, on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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

What affects the price in Lumb

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lumb. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire worktop

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Your questions about worktop repair in Lumb

Do you repair quartz?

Yes, often. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

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 I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you cover Lumb?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Lumb. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How much do I need to move?

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

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

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

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Common problems we fix in Lumb

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • A damaged sink edge
  • A chipped edge
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

Comparing quotes

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

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

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
