Worktop repair in Westbourne without replacing anything
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Common call-outs are for scratches and knife marks and gouges in the surface, on granite & marble, laminate and solid wood.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Westbourne
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Common problems we fix in Westbourne
Edges and corners chip most often, usually from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- Chipped corners
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Related advice
Westbourne: your questions answered
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Failed support under the worktop
- Discolouration deep in quartz
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
