What else we do in Birchgrove
Landlord and trade work in Birchgrove
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Birchgrove use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Birchgrove: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean spills right away
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your RH17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
What your worktop is made of matters
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Should you replace it?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What affects the price in Birchgrove
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Birchgrove. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
