What affects the price in Arborfield Cross
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire worktop
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
