Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

When to call us in Broad Green

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chipped corners
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Chips near the sink
  • Knife marks

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the colour is matched
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Broad Green questions

How much do I need to move?

Only around the repair. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
