Worktop repair in The Lymes, done in place

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Common call-outs are for chips caused during installation and damage around the sink cut-out, in granite & marble, solid wood and quartz.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Granite & marble
  • Quartz
  • Solid wood
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Laminate

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from The Lymes

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, The Lymes included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you work in The Lymes?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to The Lymes for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

What affects the price in The Lymes

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Common problems we fix in The Lymes

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Gouges in the surface
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips near the sink
  • Chips on edges and corners

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
