Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Old Town: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Normally. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Are there extra charges for Old Town?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Barnsley.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Clean spills right away
- Keep joints and edges dry
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Repair or replace in Old Town?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
