Landlord and trade work in Cann Common
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Clean spills right away
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- The material, if you know it
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SP7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Your questions about worktop repair in Cann Common
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you cover Cann Common?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Cann Common and the rest of Dorset. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
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 does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
