Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Common questions in Howwood

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Howwood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back

For a price in Howwood, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Water-swollen laminate

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

Materials we repair

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

What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
