Worktop repair at your home in Westgate

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. Common call-outs are for chips in quartz or granite and snagging damage in a new kitchen, across granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.

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

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

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

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Westgate: your questions answered

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

In most cases. Send us a photo and we will tell you what’s possible.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NE1 postcode.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

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

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Westgate. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most customers in Westgate get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Westgate

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. 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.

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
