FAQs for Cross in Hand
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you match granite flecks?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes, often. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean spills right away
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
