Why repair rather than replace?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lyng. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Worktop repair in Lyng, done in place
We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. If you are dealing with scorch marks from pans and chips on edges and corners, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Lyng and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Clean spills immediately
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NR9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
