Worktop repair for Whitmore homes

Repairing versus replacing in Whitmore

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Worktop repair in Whitmore without replacing anything

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We’re often asked to fix gouges in the surface and chips in quartz or granite, across solid wood, quartz and granite & marble.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Whitmore. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Whitmore: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

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

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you cover the entire of Dorset?

Across the UK, so Whitmore is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dorset.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  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
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Keep wood oiled

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
