For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TA20 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions about worktop repair in Chard

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

In most cases. A photo lets us check what’s possible.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Somerset.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Chard. Prices don’t change with location.

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Use a chopping board
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

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

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
