Landlords, agents and businesses in Chillesford

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chillesford use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Worktop repair in Chillesford, done in place

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Our repair technicians work on laminate, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are cuts and scratches in the surface and dents and gouges.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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 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, and the work is guaranteed.

Do you need worktop repair in Chillesford?

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Gouges in the surface
  • Knife marks
  • A chipped edge
  • Scorch marks from pans

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  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. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What affects the price in Chillesford

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Chillesford. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Chillesford: your questions answered

Do I need to empty the worktop?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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