Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Common questions in Cross

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Usually, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Do you come to Cross?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cross and the rest of Cornwall. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

When to call us in Cross

Edges and corners chip most frequently, generally from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

What affects the price in Cross

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you are in Cross and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Cross

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
