What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whipton

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.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Repairing versus replacing in Whipton

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Read our full price list.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Use a chopping board
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Whipton. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in Whipton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we are called out for in Whipton

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Chipped corners
  • Chips caused during installation
  • A heat mark or burn
  • A damaged sink edge

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What preparation is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Whipton questions

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Whipton?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes, frequently. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
