Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in Dearham

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

In most cases. A photo lets us check what’s possible.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

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

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Dearham

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

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Repairing versus replacing in Dearham

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. 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.
