About our worktop repair in Woodhouse
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Our repair technicians work on granite & marble, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are chipped corners and chips in quartz or granite.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire.

FAQs for Woodhouse
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair several things at once?

Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you do work for letting agents?

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Laminate
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

When to call us in Woodhouse

- Chips caused during installation

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
