How we handle worktop repair in Westbere

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Typical jobs include burns from hot pans and damage around the sink cut-out, across laminate, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian).

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What worktop repair costs

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Use a chopping board

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Common questions in Westbere

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you come to Westbere?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Westbere from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you need worktop repair in Westbere?

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips often start there.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Chips in quartz or granite

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish

How to compare quotes

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A top that moves on its units

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Westbere

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
