How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to care for the repair

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

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Winscales questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Winscales. Prices do not change with location.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Are there extra charges for Winscales?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

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

Materials we work on in Winscales

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Signs you need worktop repair in Winscales

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • A chipped edge
  • Scratches and knife marks

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Winscales

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
