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.

Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.

When to call us in Hemingford Grey

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Chipped corners
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

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 frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
