DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Common questions in Croston
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you cover the whole of Lancashire?
Across the UK, so Croston is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Usually. Send us a picture and we will tell you.
What affects the price in Croston
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Croston. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Croston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Failed support under the worktop
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Do you need worktop repair in Croston?
Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips often start there.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Burns from hot pans
- Chips on edges and corners
- Scratches and knife marks
- Damage around the sink cut-out
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Keep wood oiled
- Wipe up spills quickly
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
