What your worktop is made of matters
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
How we handle worktop repair in Whitecross
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Common call-outs are for damage around the sink cut-out and damage from fitting or building work, across granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Keep wood oiled
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Don’t let water sit on joints
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Signs you need worktop repair in Whitecross
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Knife marks
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Chips near the sink
- Burns from hot pans

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.

What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
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
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Your questions about worktop repair in Whitecross
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Repair or replace in Whitecross?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
