Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently 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.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repair or replace in Inveresk?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean spills right away
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Keep wood oiled

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. 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.

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole worktop

Inveresk questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you cover Inveresk?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Inveresk and the rest of East Lothian. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you need worktop repair in Inveresk?

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Damage from fitting or building work

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel
