Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Westruther. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Clean spills immediately
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Questions from Westruther
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Westruther. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
