Landlord and trade work in Clapper Hill

For anyone letting property in or around Clapper Hill, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Water-swollen laminate

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What we’re called out for in Clapper Hill

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 gradually from knives and grit.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Dents and gouges
  • Knife marks
  • Damage from fitting or building work

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What aftercare is recommended

Common questions in Clapper Hill

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Usually, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

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

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.
