Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

What else we do in Stanford
Stanford: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Stanford and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Are there extra charges for Stanford?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed price.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Stanford. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Use a chopping board
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Clean spills right away
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
