For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. 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.

Carnon Downs: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How much do I need to move?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How much does worktop repair cost in Carnon Downs?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Carnon Downs

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

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Solid surface

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
