Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair

What affects the price in New Marston
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Do not knock pans against the edge
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairing versus replacing in New Marston
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
New Marston: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
