For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For anyone letting property in or around Chinese Quarter, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Use a chopping board

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

When to call us in Chinese Quarter

Most chips are on edges and corners, typically from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Dents and gouges

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Chinese Quarter: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Chinese Quarter. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
