Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cross Hands. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- A top that moves on its units
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
