Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Costessey as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures 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 photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Costessey

  • Granite & marble
  • Quartz

Costessey questions

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do I need to be at home?

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

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you come to Costessey?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Costessey from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

When to call us in Costessey

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Damage from fitting or building work

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
