FAQs for Westcotes

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only around the repair. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Failed support under the worktop

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

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Westcotes

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When to call us in Westcotes

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Chips near the sink
  • Chipped corners

Comparing quotes

  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Keep wood oiled

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

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

Should you replace it?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
