Worktop repair for Whitwell homes

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Do not knock pans against the edge

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Worktop repair in Whitwell without replacing anything

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We regularly repair quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and people most often call us about chips caused during installation and scorch marks from pans.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Your questions about worktop repair in Whitwell

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Typically. A picture lets us check what’s possible.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you come to Whitwell?

We do. Technicians travel to Whitwell from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you cover the whole of Isle of Wight?

We work UK-wide, so Whitwell is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Water-swollen laminate

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you’re in Whitwell and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price
