Landlord and trade work in Gilstead
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bradford and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we handle worktop repair in Gilstead
We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We work on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and common reasons people get in touch are scorch marks from pans and chipped corners.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Keep wood oiled
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Gilstead questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Gilstead included. Travel is included in the price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Water-swollen laminate
- A top that moves on its units
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
