Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Box Hill

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you work in Box Hill?

We do. We send a technician to Box Hill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When can you do it?

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Use a chopping board

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

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

What affects the price in Box Hill

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Box Hill, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Failed support under the worktop

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

Materials we work on in Box Hill

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

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
