The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Westhouses questions

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Generally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Does someone need to be in?

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

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Should you replace it?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our pricing.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
