Landlord and trade work in Canonmills
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Canonmills, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Worktop repair in Canonmills, done in place
We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, matching the colour and pattern by hand. The worktop stays in place. We work on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are a heat mark or burn and damage to a stone worktop.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Canonmills
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95.

FAQs for Canonmills
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Common problems we fix in Canonmills
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Knife marks
- Chips on edges and corners
- Chips near the sink
- A dent from a dropped pan
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What affects the price in Canonmills
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Canonmills. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
