Landlord and trade work in Broughton

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

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

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Our hiring checklist

Broughton questions

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Broughton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
