How we handle worktop repair in Crossgates

A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Common call-outs are for scratches and knife marks and a dent from a dropped pan, across solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Crossgates and across Cumbria.

FAQs for Crossgates

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cumbria.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your CA14 postcode.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Crossgates, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

What affects the price in Crossgates

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Should you replace it?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Solid surface

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

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
