Worktop repair at your home in Whitton
The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. We regularly repair solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are damage around the sink cut-out and chips in quartz or granite.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Whitton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
How the visit works
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 any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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 usually far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Questions from Whitton
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover Whitton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Whitton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Use a chopping board
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
