Work for landlords and builders

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.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Coldharbour

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Coldharbour. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area

What we are called out for in Coldharbour

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Look out for these signs:

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Chips on edges and corners

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Use a chopping board

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. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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