For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Catford as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

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.

Worktop repair in Catford, done in place

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. If you’re dealing with chips in quartz or granite and knife marks, we can generally put it right, on laminate, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Honest limits

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We leave the room as we found it

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
