Work for landlords and builders

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.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CB6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in Ely, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Ely questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you come to Ely?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Ely from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What we are called out for in Ely

Most chips are on edges and corners, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips near the sink
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
