Common questions in Whessoe
Do you cover the entire of Darlington?
All of Darlington, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Generally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you come to Whessoe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Whessoe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How we handle worktop repair in Whessoe
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. If you are dealing with a dent from a dropped pan and damage from fitting or building work, we can typically put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement 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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
