Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Fairwater

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fairwater use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should you replace it?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  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. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Re-oil timber worktops

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

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

FAQs for Fairwater

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How much do I need to move?

Only around the repair. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do you repair quartz?

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

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
