Questions from The Lings
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

When to call us in The Lings

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repairs by material
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Water-swollen laminate
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in The Lings
