For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Questions from Mark Hall South

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you repair quartz?

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Mark Hall South. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs
