Landlord and trade work in Dunstable
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Central Bedfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
About our worktop repair in Dunstable
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are chips near the sink and scorch marks from pans.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Repairs by material

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

What affects the price in Dunstable
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
