Worktop repair at your home in Boxted Cross
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. We work on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and people most often call us about chips caused during installation and scratches and knife marks.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repair or replace in Boxted Cross?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Clean spills straight away
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.

How to prepare

Boxted Cross questions
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
