Landlord and trade work in Brough

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brough as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Brough: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Signs you need worktop repair in Brough

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Burns from hot pans

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Wood

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

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

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Any details about the material

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
