Worktop repair in St Cross

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Worktop repair at your home in St Cross

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Whether it’s knife marks and damage around the sink cut-out, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to St Cross. The price comes down to:

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

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Use a chopping board
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Clean spills straight away

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
