Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Can I fix it myself?

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 normally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Use a chopping board
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Questions from Paddington

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Are there extra charges for Paddington?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Repair or replace in Paddington?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Paddington. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
