Worktop repair in Cross

About our worktop repair in Cross

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. We work on laminate, granite & marble and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about a dent from a dropped pan and chips in quartz or granite.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Cross and across Shropshire.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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, with burns and dents put right.

Cross: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Cross?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you come to Cross?

We do. We send a technician to Cross for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire worktop and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

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

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cross

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price 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 quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
