What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Repair or replace in High Cross Bank?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

FAQs for High Cross Bank

Are you accredited?

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

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including High Cross Bank and the rest of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

How soon can you come?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to High Cross Bank. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we’re called out for in High Cross Bank

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A chipped edge
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Damage to a stone worktop
