Landlord and trade work in Stanborough
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
If you manage property in Stanborough, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you’re in Stanborough and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- 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.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz

Why repair rather than replace?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
