Should you replace it?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is generally far better value. Prices start from £95. 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 pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Whiteleas questions
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.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How much does worktop repair cost in Whiteleas?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
