Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northumberland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NE46 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
