About our worktop repair in Lydlinch
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Common call-outs are for scratches and knife marks and chipped corners, on solid wood, quartz and granite & marble.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Advice
Questions from Lydlinch
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Are there extra charges for Lydlinch?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- A top that moves on its units
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Signs you need worktop repair in Lydlinch

The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Dents and gouges
- Chips on edges and corners
- A damaged sink edge

Repairs by material
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What affects the price in Lydlinch
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
