For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Other services in Alvanley
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Alvanley. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

- A top that moves on its units
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
