About our worktop repair in Golden Cross

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. Typical jobs include a chipped quartz edge and chips caused during installation, on solid wood, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian).

In a village like Golden Cross, kitchens in older homes frequently have character worth keeping. Repairing damage keeps the kitchen as it is.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. For a rural home like those around Golden Cross, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while worktop repair is one trip.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it. Somewhere as small as Golden Cross, access is typically the main thing to plan. Once we’re there, the worktop repair works exactly as anywhere else.

  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. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

What we’re called out for in Golden Cross

Edges and corners chip most often, normally from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Burns from hot pans
  • A chipped quartz edge
