Worktop repair for Cross Inn homes

About our worktop repair in Cross Inn

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for chips in quartz or granite and scorch marks from pans, on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Ceredigion and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Cross Inn: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

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

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

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

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How much does worktop repair cost in Cross Inn?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Laminate
  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Solid wood

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole worktop

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cross Inn. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
