For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Stoke-on-Trent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
Most clients in Heron Cross get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
FAQs for Heron Cross
How much do I need to move?
Only around the repair. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
