Worktop repair at your home in Westwood
A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. We regularly repair solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are chips in quartz or granite and burns from hot pans.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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 are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
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.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Keep joints and edges dry
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Westwood: your questions answered
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Usually. Send us a picture and we will tell you.
Can you match granite flecks?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.
Landlord and trade work in Westwood
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Do you need worktop repair in Westwood?

- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Chips on edges and corners
- A heat mark or burn
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How to care for the finish
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Repair or replace in Westwood?
