Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most customers in West Bay get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Keep wood oiled
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
Do you need worktop repair in West Bay?
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
