For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For anyone letting property in or around Ordsall, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Clean spills immediately
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- A top that moves on its units
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Quartz

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble 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 are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
