Work for landlords and builders
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.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Water-swollen laminate
- Severe heat marks in quartz
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 typically the cheaper route.
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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Should you replace it?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start 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.

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How much do I need to move?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
