Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix 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 to keep costs down.

FAQs for Charlestown

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Aberdeen. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Wood

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

Signs you need worktop repair in Charlestown

The worst damage often happens in a moment: 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.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • Burns from hot pans
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • A damaged sink edge

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Use a chopping board
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
