Worktop repair in Three Legged Cross

Three Legged Cross questions

Do you come to Three Legged Cross?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Three Legged Cross from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you cover the whole of Dorset?

The whole UK, including all of Dorset. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Worktop repair in Three Legged Cross, done in place

We repair worktops in place, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about a dent from a dropped pan and burns from hot pans.

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

What affects the price in Three Legged Cross

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Three Legged Cross

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Keep wood oiled

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
