How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

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

What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What affects the price in Whitwell

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Whitwell. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Whitwell questions

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Whitwell is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Whitwell?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Wipe up spills quickly

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

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
