Landlord and trade work in Maghull

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

What worktop repair costs

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

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Do you need worktop repair in Maghull?

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Dents and gouges
  • Chipped corners
  • Scratches and knife marks

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

FAQs for Maghull

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Will you leave a mess?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Do you come to Maghull?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Maghull for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
