Worktop repair at your home in West Hill

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Common call-outs are for cuts and scratches in the surface and scorch marks from pans, in laminate, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian).

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including West Hill. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for West Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

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

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep wood oiled

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

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

Materials we repair
