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.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common problems we fix in Lady

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Knife marks
  • Chips near the sink
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Dents and gouges

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Lady?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Can I fix it myself?

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

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Questions from Lady

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you come to Lady?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Lady from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do the materials smell?

Do you charge for travel?

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  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.
