What else we do in Wainstalls
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Wainstalls: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Wainstalls. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repairs by material
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Water-swollen laminate
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Quartz
How the visit works

- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
