Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Copshaw Holm as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Copshaw Holm, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Do not knock pans against the edge
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
