Worktop repair at your home in Whitecross

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Our technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during installation and chipped corners.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitecross

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitecross as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Your questions about worktop repair in Whitecross

Do you repair quartz?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Whitecross

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

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Common problems we fix in Whitecross

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Scorch marks from pans

Comparing quotes

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
