Worktop repair in Cross Lanes, done in place

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Whether it’s knife marks and damage to a stone worktop, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Common questions in Cross Lanes

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Cross Lanes.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you cover Cross Lanes?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cross Lanes. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

When to call us in Cross Lanes

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Knife marks
  • A chipped quartz edge

Before booking anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repairs by material

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire worktop

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job without visiting.
