How we handle worktop repair in Wearhead
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Our repair technicians work on quartz, laminate and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about a damaged sink edge and scorch marks from pans.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
When to call us in Wearhead
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- A heat mark or burn
- Chips on edges and corners
- Chips caused during installation
- A chipped quartz edge

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Wearhead: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Water-swollen laminate
- A top that moves on its units
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
