Repairs by material

Solid surface

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

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  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

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry

FAQs for Hellman's Cross

How much do I need to move?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

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

Do you repair quartz?

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

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.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

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

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hellman's Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
