What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

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

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

When to call us in Fair Cross

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Chipped corners
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

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

Repair or replace in Fair Cross?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Fair Cross: your questions answered

When can you do it?

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

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Fair Cross is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you work in Fair Cross?

We do. Technicians travel to Fair Cross from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fair Cross

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
