Worktop repair at your home in Cross

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Whether it’s gouges in the surface and a damaged sink edge, we can help, on quartz, solid wood and granite & marble alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Cross

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Cross, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Questions from Cross

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just near the damage. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often 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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cross. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When to call us in Cross

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chipped corners
  • Burns from hot pans

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Cross

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
