How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lyons. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Lyons questions
Do you repair quartz?
Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Signs you need worktop repair in Lyons
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A heat mark or burn
- Chipped corners
- Gouges in the surface
- Damage from fitting or building work
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repairing versus replacing in Lyons
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
