Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Donisthorpe as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should you replace it?
A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Common questions in Donisthorpe
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Are there extra charges for Donisthorpe?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Donisthorpe included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Advice
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Clean spills right away
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Use a chopping board
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Failed support under the worktop
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
