Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Granite & marble
  • Quartz
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in

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

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Questions from Shanklin

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Typically, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your PO37 postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
