Worktop repair at your home in Westwick Row

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. We regularly repair solid wood, laminate and quartz, and the jobs we see most are dents and gouges and damage from fitting or building work.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Westwick Row

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Dents and gouges
  • Burns from hot pans

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Westwick Row questions

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

In most cases. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you what’s possible.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Are you accredited?

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

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Do you come to Westwick Row?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Westwick Row for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
