Landlords, agents and businesses in Darnick
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Darnick as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean spills straight away
- Keep wood oiled
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
Common problems we fix in Darnick
Edges and corners chip most often, usually from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chipped corners

- Damage around the sink cut-out

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Questions from Darnick
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you cover Darnick?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Darnick and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
