About our worktop repair in Whitehouse

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. We work on laminate, granite & marble and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are damage to a stone worktop and chips caused during installation.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Whitehouse

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

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Landlord and trade work in Whitehouse

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we’re called out for in Whitehouse

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Chips on edges and corners

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

Whitehouse: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Typically, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

How much do I need to move?

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

Do you cover Whitehouse?

We do. We send a technician to Whitehouse for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
