Repairing versus replacing in Whitecross
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

About our worktop repair in Whitecross
A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. We work on solid wood, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people contact us are damage to a stone worktop and a dent from a dropped pan.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
For a price in Whitecross, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Different materials, different repairs
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 scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep wood oiled
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Use a chopping board
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Whitecross questions
How much do I need to move?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
In most cases. A picture lets us check what’s possible.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Laminate

What we are called out for in Whitecross
The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A damaged sink edge
- A chipped edge
- Dents and gouges
- Scratches and knife marks
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How your room will be protected
