Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Worktop repair in Lynton, done in place
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Common call-outs are for a dent from a dropped pan and damage around the sink cut-out, across granite & marble, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian).
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Lynton. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Repairs by material
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Signs you need worktop repair in Lynton
The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scorch marks from pans
- Chips on edges and corners
- A damaged sink edge
- Damage to a stone worktop
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
- Who will actually do the work
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A top that moves on its units
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Laminate
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Never put hot pans down directly
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Lynton questions
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How much does worktop repair cost in Lynton?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your EX35 postcode.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
