Worktop repair for Whitesmith homes

About our worktop repair in Whitesmith

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Common call-outs are for scorch marks from pans and chips in quartz or granite, across solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and granite & marble.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Whitesmith questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you work in Whitesmith?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Whitesmith. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Whitesmith customers choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our full price list.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  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. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
