Landlord and trade work in Chelston
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Water-swollen laminate
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid wood

What we’re called out for in Chelston
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Questions from Chelston
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
Do you cover Chelston?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Chelston and the rest of Torbay. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Chelston.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Wipe up spills quickly
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
