Landlords, agents and businesses in Crabbs Cross
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairs by material
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire worktop
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Questions from Crabbs Cross
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Crabbs Cross and the rest of Worcestershire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
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.
Are there extra charges for Crabbs Cross?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
