Repair or replace: which is better?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

West Dean questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Use a chopping board
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Keep wood oiled
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Failed support under the worktop
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported

What else we do in West Dean
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Landlords, agents and businesses in West Dean
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Dean as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
