About our worktop repair in Whitchurch
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Whether it’s a chipped edge and chips caused during installation, we can help, on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and quartz alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Severe heat marks in quartz

Repairing versus replacing in Whitchurch
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Whitchurch: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Whitchurch included. Travel is included in the price.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Whitchurch, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep wood oiled
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Use a chopping board
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
What affects the price in Whitchurch
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
