DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Your questions about worktop repair in Lydford Fair Place

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can landlords book you?

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

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Usually. A photo lets us check what’s possible.

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire worktop

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

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

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
