Landlords, agents and businesses in Milkwell

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

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

Quartz

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

Do I have to be there?

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole worktop

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Water-swollen laminate

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
