Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Repair or replace in Hornsey?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hornsey. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we are called out for in Hornsey

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire worktop

If you are in Hornsey and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

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