Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hailey. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Hailey questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How much do I need to move?

Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Usually. A photo lets us check.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Are there extra charges for Hailey?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairs by material

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

When to call us in Hailey

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A chipped edge
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
