Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Worktop repair in Lyness without replacing anything
Laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and wooden worktops can all be repaired, with colour and pattern matched by hand. The worktop stays in place. If you’re dealing with burns from hot pans and chips near the sink, we can normally put it right, on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and laminate alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
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 will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A top that moves on its units

- Severe heat marks in quartz
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
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 send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
FAQs for Lyness
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work in Lyness?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Lyness from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
