FAQs for Whitmore

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Staffordshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

In most cases. A picture lets us check what’s possible.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How much does worktop repair cost in Whitmore?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How we handle worktop repair in Whitmore

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We work on granite & marble, solid wood and quartz, and common reasons people get in touch are damage around the sink cut-out and a chipped quartz edge.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in Whitmore

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • A chipped edge
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Knife marks

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Whitmore. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price
