Landlord and trade work in Elford
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, 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.

What else we do in Elford
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Common problems we fix in Elford
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- Burns from hot pans
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Chipped corners
- Damage from fitting or building work
What your quote should include
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
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 is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Water-swollen laminate
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep wood oiled
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Elford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
