Landlords, agents and businesses in Bradford

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Should you replace it?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most customers in Bradford get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Your questions about worktop repair in Bradford

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will the price change on the day?

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

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Bradford is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
