For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A top that moves on its units
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Laminate
What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What affects the price in Silvermills
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Silvermills questions
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Use a chopping board
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
